Letter from America

Doesn't seem to matter WHERE I go, there is always a downpour! This time we've only had a couple which for May is probably all right.
Mind you, I can't complain - we've seen a lot of sun as well! 
We passed a pleasant weekend with Tina's younger sister, her husband and since it was Mother's Day, then her highly pregnant daughter and her NOT highly pregnant second daughter!
Her husband and I took a trip down to the coastline - the Atlantic from the other side so to say, 
Atlantic - on Sandy's passage

Mother's cake.........

Back garden with pond, fountains and - somewhere in there, tomatoes, aubergines, avocado etc.......

Gotta get the fish and stuff

 All that is needed, even spaghetti...........!

Skip and Joanne waiting for something.......!

Portsmouth snippets.

Listening to the TV the other day, I heard the name "Portsmouth" so I dropped what I was doing and watched. Now had the magic word been "Gillingham", I doubt if I would have had the same reaction, although it is rare to hear either of the two on French 3 TV! It appears those busy little business men in Portsmouth have developed a sort of "fuel additive" which they are now selling in grand style to the local authorities in France. They are making (apparantly) large economies by using this stuff for everything - heating,emergency generators, garden tools like mowers etc, and generally anything that works from a combustion engine, or burns fuel. Great stuff, but how come I've never heard of this additive being used elsewhere, like in UK or even in Portsmouth itself? Does it, maybe, make the engines concerned a little bit "ill"?
