MOULES FRITTES

First Saturday in August, always the biggest

village party around.

Moules frites is our favourite night.

When we first came here 11 years ago,

around 200 would turn up.

Now it is closer to 550.

The day before, I heard old Ark Royal

shipmate Richard Knight and his family

were staying in St Malo.

Great to meet up after 30 years.

They joined the party and stayed the night.

BUSY MONTH

August is always a busy month for visitors.

Marie's sister, Liz, daughter Aileen, husband Dean,

a young Poppy came for a week after a short

ferry delay because of the weather.

A few nice trips out.

Dinan market is always popular on a Thursday.

We also had a few meals out, and of course

a visit to the bar.

Royal Marine dean is training Poppy to carry

his kit around.

1st TIMERS

Had a visit for a couple of days from Paul and Deanie.

I served with Paul on HMS Southampton, taking

it from build, right the way through to going

down the Falklands in 1982.

A couple of meals out, beer and wine.
