TRAFALGAR LUNCH

Thursday we were at the 13 Assiettes restaurant,

at Val St Pere. A few miles on from

Mont St Michel. 

53 of us turned up for the 210th anniversary

of Nelson's victory.

Plenty of medals on show from

veterans of all the three services.

An excellent 4 course lunch with wine, was followed

with speeches, and much port was drunk.

And of course, no Navy celebration is

complete without a tot of rum.....or two.

PUMPKIN FRENZY

With Marie back in the UK for a few days,

it was my task to bring in the pumpkins before

the frosts set in.

Well, last night was damn close to a frost, so all have 

been harvested.

Apart from a few lingering raspberries, and 

slowly improving sprouts, that's

it for this year.

The freezer is full of all sorts, so we are set

for what all signs are, a very cold winter.

AUTUMN NEWS

Now here is a couple of diverse pictures.

Autumn has kicked in, tho not too cold yet. 

Have profited from our friends up the lane moving,

especially with walnuts.

I went back to Bournemouth for Mick Cunningham's funeral,

and caught up with Mum and Bob, along with 

many from my AFC Bournemouth supporting history.

Took a stroll down to my old local, The Richmond in Charminster, Bournemouth.

Still looks the same, but not a pub for native Englishmen anymore.

ON THE WAY TO THE RNA

Once every couple of months I attend

the Royal Navy Association Committee meeting

at Vilde Guingalan, about 15 miles from home.

Thought this morning I would take a few pictures

from the journey.

Church at Borseul.

The bar at Plelan le Petit was open

for early morning coffee.

The church at Plelan.

And finally, Chip, the pub dog

where we hold the meetings.

ST POTAN AUTUMN MARKET

Sunday saw a village arts and  crafts market.

Stalls were inside the salle des fetes, as well

as outside.

A bit of live music thrown in..

And most important of all, a bar,

serving large glasses of wine at a euro a go!!
