The Gay Dolphin Adventure

I don't think the dolphin in this story is gay, in case you're wondering, althought there is a zoo somewhere with gay penguins..

I've found that Timperley's Early does well in coastal gardens but it doesn't like to be in full sun all day.

RNLI
Contacted RNLI to ask how the society can help fundraise for them and to ask if they can chase up the lifeboat station at Dungeness so I can arrange a visit there during Coastal Gardening Society's Day Out in Dungeness.
Fishermens' Mission
Emailed with the Director of Fundraising and Coastal Gardening Society will do a collection/s on Fish Friday 2012, that's Friday 22 June 2012.
John Hinde
I contacted John Hinde about scanning their postcards for the website and Donna has been great and is sorting that out for me. Thanks Donna !
Bank account
Many banks and building societies ask clubs, associations and societies to have £1000 before they open a bank account which is IMO pretty daft. I trawled all around the Internet looking and got quite despondent.
In order to get a PayPal account for membership income and a charity shop on eBay for the society it needs to have a bank account. Catch 22.
Decided to try my own bank, Lloyds TSB. Glad I did because they offer a bank account that can be started with a nil balance and there are no transaction charges on turnover of less than 50 000 GBP. So I went through the application on the phone this morning :) Thank you to Nicola for her help !

Crocs !!
www.crocs.co.uk
There are only two places I don't wear Crocs - in the shower and in bed.
For the first week they felt strange although I've never had a blister. After that I just never even noticed that I'm wearing them on my feet. My feet look healthy, they don't get sweaty or blistered and I can walk miles without my feet getting tired. I don't have to worry about ruining my shoes if I get them wet with a hose in the garden and I can play around on the beach with my dawg and not worry about the salt or damaging my feet. I've never had the slightest mishap with escalators either. Without a doubt the best thing my feet have ever experienced.

Where's your favourite beach ?
Mine is a private beach close to the French President's official summer residence which escapes the hordes ;) And Portmeirion with the tide out is spectacular too.
Seaside gardens in fiction
Looking for good books which feature beaches and seaside gardens. Any suggestions please comment, thanks.
