Hi from Bob with your latest update from<br />
Welcome. Firstly, did you enjoy the<br />
Olympics? Wasn’t it fantastic to see us Brits<br />
put on such a show – makes you feel proud to<br />
be British doesn’t it! What with that and the<br />
Jubilee year celebrations, it’s really put us on<br />
the map and makes you realise that despite<br />
all the things that are wrong in the world,<br />
there are still things that can put a smile on<br />
everyone’s face and make us forget our woes<br />
for a while.<br />
Our 25 th July Dance was outside at El Collado<br />
around the pool. We were entertained by a<br />
new artiste to Welcome, Terry J, and our<br />
own Christine, and didn’t they both do well.<br />
Thanks also to Steve “The Snip” for the disco.<br />
Another fabulous night – good food, beautiful<br />
setting, great company, and congratulations<br />
to Rosemary and Haydn and helpers for<br />
looking after us so well.<br />
