What a wet day… RAIN!!!! and then some… We went into Dover today to have a look round the town, it matched the weather – miserable, it was dingy, run down altogether not very nice.

The music shop was still closed, so I think it will be Wednesday before we can get there. Adam and … Continue reading Day 3–Monday 4th June 2012
