Thanks for all the comments - we do appreciate them!! Not much to report on today. Yesterday we went to Bunbury again and had lunch in a Chinese restaurant which was lovely. The food was delicious and slightly different to Chinese restaurants in England. Mick went out with Vylic (Maureen's husband) in the afternoon so I decided to go for a walk along the beach.
