ST CAST PORT

A 2 year project to dredge the harbour and lay pontoons is nearly complete. There will be moorings for 350 craft. Also planned are new shops, bars and restaurants, which will bring in the yachting brigade.

They are trying to make it the St Tropez of the north.

Good news for house prices.

ARTHUR AND BELLA

There is only one thing to do with an empty 10 litre bag of wine. Inflate it as it makes a good dog toy...for about 10 seconds.

SUMMER DARTS LEAGUE

Summer darts has been going on for a few weeks now. It's not as important as the main season leagues so we have bought in some players who want to play for us next season.

Didier & Bruno have featured this summer. We have won 4 and lost 2 of our games so far.

The new season starts on 17th Sept and we are hoping to win our division and have another "giant killing" run in the Coupe de France

BASTILLE DAY

OK..So Bastille Day is on the 14th July, but the closest Sunday to that date there is the village pig roast, or cochon grille as the locals call it!

10 euros..all you can eat. Lovely!

2 pigs on the spit. Not had 2 pigs here for a couple of weeks!...Sorry Liz!

About 100 turn up.


Fine carving of the pork!!!

All the Brits sit together. It's a clan thing!

Then back to ours to see the day out. Brilliant!

A SAD BUT TRUE STORY

We are regular visitors to the bar at St Lormel, where they have a pub dog cally Ullysees. Very friendly and amiable to all who visit.

The owners want to breed from him so they posted this picture on a website looking for a lady friend who could be a mate to the "big boy"

Ullysees was looking forward to meeting his new lady friend!

Ullysees then gets the bad news that he has had no replies.

He seems to have taken it badly!

APERO RUN

Al & John went out for a few beers at Pleven. The bar is looking good in summer!

THE BURROWS FAMILY ARRIVE..OH JOY!

Liz, Aileen, and her boyfriend Dean made it across the channel.

Driving from Roscoff was a big achievement for Liz, but luckily a dose of beta blockers calmed the nerves.

As usual we were eaten out of house and home. The freezer is now nearly empty and it looks like we are on grool till the end of the month.

Sadly after a week they had to leave. Sniff!!!!!!
