Barbados

We are back from what was a fantastic holiday in Barbados. The photos are here. We stayed at The Sandpiper, which won best luxury hotel in Barbados for this year, so we were in good hands. Have to say, the staff and service were all excellent, without being too formal. George was a hit with just about everyone, gaining many girlfriends amoungst the staff and even staff we had never seen before would say "Hello George!". We travelled around a little in the middle of the holiday. Otherwise, we were happy just to relax as much as we could. Simon managed to arrange We've Only Just Begun (Carpenters) for his string quartet in preparation for a wedding in the village this coming weekend. The rehearsal the day after we got back from holiday with the singer was a relief, as there were hardly any mistakes. George got his first pair of proper shoes today ('cruisers'), so walking may not be that far off.
