A very big SORRY to Karen Brown.
I apologise to Karen for not writing in my blog about the wonderful Isle of Wight and all the fun I had there.........
On the Isle of Wight in a little house in Newport (that is surrounded by such a lovely garden - it even has a newt pond!) lives the lovely family of the McDoogles. The leader of the family is Karen, such a wonderful person (a one in a million kind of person) she just accepted me into the family, made me feel at home and loved. Yes she did also make me do the ironing and help her clean up the garden but this was fine as I wanted to help anyway.
This is an extract from my journal...
16/5
Stirling aged six is wonderful, so lovely and lively, just a great little boy. We had a falling out the other day over such a little thing, so we where "no longer friends" but eventually I got in his good books again.
I can't write how he says my name, but its like a- COO-sha-la.
We are all sorts of things together, like pirates looking for treasure; or secret agents on a mission to capture daddy; explorers trekking through the wild jungle of the amazon.
I really love his outlook on life, the simplicity and joy of childhood. He is so imaginative and just plain old sweetie pie... most of the time. :)

Time is running out... I will continue to shamelessly flatter the Isle of Wight another time.

Well picked up Acushla, although I hadn't expected to be talked up quite so much and anticipate a trail of weary young Australian backpackers to arrive at my door over the following years, as a result of your warm words. Be warned young folk, the ironing pile gets very high very quickly in my household, and Stirling is a very demanding playmate. Might I add to Acushla's blog that she is the MOST WONDERFUL house guest one could ever wish for. She gets the measure of your household rhythms and fits in amazingly well, in our case, to complete family mayhem from 6.30am to 9pm, with ardent "Apprentice" watching 9pm to 10.30pm. She is charming, sensitive and kind, and reminds me much of her parents, both of whom I have known for many years, making it easy to feel comfortable in her company. In short I have no hesitation in reccommending Ms Acushla Sarah Burden as a houseguest/helper more strongly. We did have a fab time with you visiting Cush Cush,and hope you come back to see us again if you can later on your travels. KB
