Sorry Paul I did not realise the Sweet Shop was at Milestones - only picked that up when I checked the "Latest Pictures" and saw your photos.  Many thanks for adding them, and I hope you have more to come, it looks like a fascinating place.

For those of your who have just caught up with us in Hampshire, we have moved on this evening to Ryde in the Isle of Wight to join in the Ryde Carnival which runs today and tomorrow.  So for two days we will be travelling around the Isle of Wight and experience whatever delights we can find on the way.  Hope you will join us.

Now I am back to partying at the carnival Cool
