NIGHT AWAY

Former St Potan resident and fellow darts team

player, John Beasley, picked me up last Thursday.

Went back to his new village, Cherrieux, about 40 miles east of here.

Went out for a bite to eat and as expected,

many beers.

A good night!

NAVY CURRY EVENT COMING UP

Saturday 27th June we are hosting Brittany's finest curry event

at Chez Gard.

Preparation is underway, and on Saturday I made the

Garlic and Corriander Naan Breads.

It was warm enough to prove the dough mixture 

outside in roughly 40 minutes, which is 

just the way they do it in the Punjab!

SWARMING

Saturday afternoon the bees swarmed, and settled on nextdoor's apple tree.

Alan & Jane came down and took them for one of their hives.

So, all is back to normal in our hive, and the spring

honey is due to be harvested.

GIRLIE VISITORS

Alison and Yvonne came over for the weekend.

Both served with Marie in Gibraltar around 1986.

So, we ate out every lunchtime, in St Cast, Dinan, & Plancoet,

and generally chilled all weekend.

BRILLIANT CAKE

The owners of the village bar, Bruno & Marylene asked

Marie if she would do their granddaughter's 

christening cake.

A bloody good effort I think you would agree.

WRENS

Don't recall seeing wrens  (bird type not Naval type)

in the UK.

But they are abundant here in Brittany.

A nest in the pump room has appeared, 

and the two chicks are thriving.

Noisy as hell, but most WRENS I served with were!!!

GREEK LAMB

So, after the last post of the "Shep" gnawed lamb leg, I cut all the outer meat off, and used the centre of the leg to make

Lamb Souvlaki, with Greekk Salad, Tzatziki, and Pitta.

Very nice too.

Meat was very tender.

Not sure as if was due to the two day marinade, 

or the fact Shep had tenderised it in his gob!
