Friday night at the casino

Friday night was Maureen's choice for a venue for a night out with Marcus, before he goes back to Aus. She chose Maxims Casino in Bournemouth, where we had a lovely meal and played the tables.



Are gambling was modest. Julia and I came home £7 better off, unlike Tracey who won £30!
