Rob and Karen had a great party last night up at the Pedrera. Members of their family were there along with neighbours and friends all helping to make it a special birthday celebration.
The band Sunset were on top form keeping us dancing until midnight. Their repertoire includes many of the favourites from our generation.
The star though was Pete Rafferty who is both an excellent singer in his own right and a great impersonator. His impersonations always bring the house down. Even when you've seen them before, they still make you laugh. Last night he performed as Elvis, P J Proby and Dolly Parton. We haven't seen Pete's Dolly Parton before - it was just brilliant.
Sadly the event was marred when the young daughter of one of our neighbours returned to the house to find two men trying to break in. She only went back to get a painkiller for her toothache but it was lucky she did. Let's hope that her timely arrival averted any loss or damage.
It looks as though the thieves had also tried to get into the house next door because the double gates to the driveway had been forced open. That is a holiday home so I guess the owners will need to be notified.
Most of the people living here have taken a lot of care to protect their houses with high security locks, alarms etc. However, the thieves don't know that and still make attempts to break in. We need to find some way to deter them from coming up here in the first place.
There is to be a meeting up at the Pedrera, Thursday 23rd October at 7:30 pm to address the continuing problems we are having with security.
