Day 24. Tuesday 19^th June, 2007.

Vickie had a morning appointment so Brian drove just Rosemary and me to Portsmouth to visit the Spinnaker Tower. In the event Brian and visited the tower, and Rosemary visited the shops. Of note was a Liquorice kiosk selling sherbet filled liquorice and other exotic liquorice variants. We returned to Hedge End, picked up Vicke and lunched at the Water Margin Chinese restaurant in Romsey. Good food at a good price. Then we went on to the Wickham Winery. Brian and I took the very interesting audio tour while Vickie and Rosemary wandered about and checked out the shop. Bit of wine tasting and buying then home for dahl tea. Peter arrived shortly after with Grace (8 months old) and Joshua (nearly 8 years old). Later on Louisa arrived and Peter took Joshua back to Winchester. In between times I played ‘Tennis ball on a piece of string attached to a pole’ with Joshua. We had great fun.
