Th weather was kind to us on Friday as well as the parking! all important part of St Ives, before you even get to Access!
So The Island centre is lovely refitted kitchen and all. We gathered, (very successfully, well done everyone for finding it!) talked, shared news and listened to Jo Mayes again about the new project and then set off into St Ives..
We asked Kerry to bring a wheelchair so we could cover more distance and Kerry got as far as outside the building see photos!!!
Jo Mayes has done a lot of research and work on Access which came into good use...

FLAT TYRE !!! before we'd left the side of the building!
Jo Mayes on phone straight into action with her extensive knowledge and research, the rest of the co went up the hill......

hatching plans for Glen ( right ) to join us musically! and the joy of seeing Marjorie!

Lots of interesting ideas generated in the afternoon Jo M recorded them so i didn't take photos but will take some Friday possibly...
We are off tomorrow to see Tristan and Iseult and hopefully Marjorie will be with us for that. The Wheeler family are increasing within Shallal ( hurray ) Katie came first, then Arron now Glen, and Joseph plans to join in September!
