About 20 mins out of Bournemouth, in a place called Alderholt.  I stayed
with him when I depped for a week on Bournemouth bandstand (playing 
music for a week, we were the two in the band most likely to do silly
things :)  So if anyone wants an address/phone number get in touch with me

so don't go getting any ideas!  In fact, when I arrived in August it was
his 1st wedding anniversary.  D'oh!
