It was a planned visit. We knew 2 months in advance that this would be a mental weekend.
Nick, Ben, Tim, Jackie, Bomber, & Jock arrived 7 hours late after a cancelled ferry sailing.
First thing to do was allocate where everyone was sleeping.
Luckily Bomber and Jackie brought a tent so they were in the back garden.
Bomber attempted to blow up the double matress but apart from being red faced and getting a hernia, we managed to find a pump and get them sorted.
Much beer was drunk at Bruno's on Friday evening and the only cure was to go up to Matignon on Saturday lunchtime and drink some more.
The Hotel de la Poste were happy with the trade.
Ben took the main seat at the bar!
Joshua and Nico were serving at lunchtime and were as mad as anything. A really memorable session.
Josh looked after ben ..Beer wise!
Bomber got a bit jealous so bought Ben a flower and proposed.
Slightly gay..But it is 2009!
Josh and Nico ..perfect barmen!
Saturday evening and it was back up to Bruno's.
We had a pool competition which Al won of course, but the cup went to Jock Rennie for staying awake for longer than 2 hours.
Oh dear! The champ of staying awake has crashed and burned!
Sunday was BBQ day and the instruments came out for a "Jam" session. Jackie was proficient on the mini ukelele.
Bomber has a small horn. But size isn't everything!
Then it all went down hill as Tim and Andy climbed the trees to the tune of "I'm the king of the swingers"
And finally my blog reading friends, a word of sound advice.
If you are nearly 50 and want to act younger, buy yourself a pair of these shoes.
12 year olds love them. And the best thing is, no matter how long your toenails are, there is space for them to grow through the holes.
After all is said and done. My liver is 20 years older, my face has aged through laughter lines, and we can't wait till they return.
Brilliant guys!
We loved it!
