LUNCHEON




Glorious autumnal sunshine, and post eclipse
we went to the village resto.
Still brilliant value at 14.50 euros
for 3 courses, and of course a 
bottle of wine on top.

ECLIPSE NIGHT


Went to bed quite early Sunday night, and set the
alarm to watch the lunar eclipse.
It started around 2-15 am and went on through till nearly
6 in the morning.


It happened right in front of our front garden.
A beautiful clear night for once when these
things happen.



Am not claiming these photos are mine,
as Marie took them.
A spectacular night, not to be seen
again till 2033.

RUNNY HONEY




Around 6kg of good runny honey has come out of our 
one beehive his summer.
Last year we left it a bit late and we had solid honey because
of the raspberry canes in the garden,
A big thank you to Alan, Jane, Bill, & Sharon for their help and advice in getting us sorted. 

VIRGIN VISITORS




Great to have a first visit from Kenny and Jaqi.
The weather held for a weekend of fun in Dinan, St cast, and 
of course in the village and home.


Kenny being an ex Navy Chef, and life long Rangers fan,
found the appropriate drink to listen to the
football with.
The French equal to Mad Dog 20/20.


Saturday night was spent in the village bar.
Great photo this.
A good end to the summer season.

FROM THE WEEK BEFORE



A few more photos from the port of Dinan, with
the Lancaster's and Vanessa.


Stopped down for a bit of lunch, and was 
entertained by a jazz band going up and
down the river.


DINAN FOR THE RNA



Tuesday 8th Sept, 14 members went to The St Louis 
in Dinan for lunch.
Was a really decent venue with great food,
so will be back on our own soon.

VISITORS WEEKEND 2



For the UK bank holiday weekend The Lancaster's came over
(Richard, Jane & Sam) along with Vanessa.
Vanessa and Jane I knew from HMS Osprey, and then
along with Richard, we were all on HMS Invincible together
in 1991/2.



Took a trip up to Fort La Latte for a good
look round on a decent morning, then on to
Frehel for lunch on the beach.

Had another day in Dinan down by the port but as
usual forgot to take photos.


Evenings were spent outside in the marquee
playing board games and having a laugh.
Although Jane was obviously tired.
