Another birthday celebration and the Avalon Hotel Southbourne hosts a family party again!

Andy home from Saudi meets the little ones for the first time

The latest addition to the family, George born 13th May so aged 3 months here.

George's cousins Issi, Danni and Harry in their impressive carriage: Sister Tilly with their Grandad and Cousin Florence with her mum Michaela, George's Aunt!

Cousin Ellie enjoys the giant sandpit again in front of the hotel's beach hut.
