Saturday

Spent the day in West Mersea as the finale of the Mersey Regatta week. Took Shelley Griffin daughter and one of our granddaughters too. Got there early and had a walk on the jetty as the tide started to come in. Then a picnic lunch before Shelley went on for a one hour set with her Ukelele group called Simply Strummers. I have now become there official photographer and videographer!! Then off to the fun fair further along the prom where our granddaughter Josie just had to have a ride in a pink helicopter.

Busy Weekend

We had Shelley Griffin brother and wife from Wiltshire staying with us from Friday to this morning. Hadn’t seen them for nearly a year. Great catch up, we all get along together so well.

Fabulous day out on Sunday at Woodbridge. Tide Mill museum, lovely lunch on the quay and exploring the quaint town centre afterwards.

Only slight downside was I hit a pothole in a puddle on the way up to Shelley’s daughter in Bures on the Saturday morning. Tyre trashed!

GET READY FOR 2020

Great day of learning at the Heathrow Marriott on Saturday. With Shelley Griffin and the one and only Simon Zutshi from Property Investors Network.

We are looking to connect with landlords who are thinking about selling their property or who perhaps would be interested in a long term rental with guaranteed monthly income.

TIME FREEDOM

Is what allows you to spend a fantastic day with family and two lovely granddaughters. A great time was had by all at the St.John's Garden Centre in Clacton yesterday. I think this was our fourth visit over the years.

The Reindeer were real, and Father Christmas was exceptional!

I COOK AS WELL!

Apart from my interest in all things property, I love to cook. This is just as well as I have a dietary intolerance to Gluten known as Coeliac Disease. Gluten is most commonly found in cereal crops such as Wheat, Oats and Barley.

So yesterday afternoon, I cooked two Gluten Free quiches from all of the basic "raw" materials. The recipe for the Gluten Free shortcrust pastry came from the daughter of one of Shelley's friends. The ingredients include:

White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Millet Flour, Icing Sugar, Ground Almonds, Egg and Xanthan Gum for improved elasticity.

YOU NEVER UNLEARN TRADE SKILLS!

Ian's daughter has just had a big extension built on the side of their house. This has created a large walk in cupboard that needed shelving out. Dad to the rescue! Slightly tricky as one wall was hollow and the other was brick so different types of wall plugs needed to fix the battens.

🙂🏘🏦PROPERTY NETWORKING

I was at the Holiday Inn for PPN Brentwood last night. By chance, I sat next to a property focussed Accountant. She works with portfolio landlords. Think we might be meeting up for coffee!

I also reconnected with David Tonks from Advocate Finance and Lesley Reeves from SLR.

I meet a lovely lady called Sharon Griffiths. Purely by chance, we both have a common connection in the town of Stoke on Trent.

Great presentations from Paul Bridgeman at Clive Emson Auctions and from Mark Spolander and Nick Thorpe at Modus.

Starting to view more properties this morning. I met a landlord at a property networking event. 4 Bed to 5 Bed HMO conversion project. I have done these before. Needed redecorating, no problem, the dining room becomes another bedroom, but there was no easy way to install another shower room without losing a bedroom.
