SQUATTERS


We've had the swallows nest this summer,
now it's the turn of the house martins.
4 in the nest which is now bulging as
they are ready to fly.

WORLD CUP WINNERS



As England messed up, we were of course
supporting France.
Delighted for everyone as they deservedly 
won the world cup.

VILLAGE HAM ROAST



The first big village event of the summer
is the ham roast up at the lake.
Around 200 turned up for a cold meat starter, the ham,
followed by ice cream. 
Bruno and Marylene sat with us.
Talk of an England v France final.
That went down the pan didn't it?

CURRY DAY



Saturday 30th June was our annual curry event for the
Royal Naval Association.



A record 39 attended on a very warm
summer's day. 


A 3 course lunch, with the ladies
helping out by making some
splendid desserts.
Around 560 euros was raised, which is
a branch record.

LONGEST DAY



A mixture of French and English took a picnic/BBQ
up to Lancieux beach on the 21st June.
A chance to watch the sun go down on the 
longest day of the year.

ROYAL NAVY FRIENDS




I went back to Liverpool for the reunion of 200
shipmates of the Royal Navy.
An absolutely brilliant weekend, highlighted
by the kind donations from everyone
for the charity raffle.
The Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity
is £2100 better off thanks to all these guy's.

MORE BIRDS


Never had so many bids nests in the outbuildings.


The house martins are the latest to set up home.


Predators are all over the place, but don't come
that close to the house.


And the wrens have fledged.
