It covers large areas, as demonstrated by Marie!

BLOODY TYPICAL!

So Mikhail goes out on the boat on Sunday to check the lobster trap.

Al turn's it down because England are playing the Krauts at football.

Mikhail gets lobster for tea..we have a chip butty!

And England play like the bunch of overpaid has tosspots that they are.

FISHING SEASON STARTS

The first sea trip of the season out on Mikhail's boat happened last Friday. The forecast was good but as soon as we got to sea, it was a very misty Cap Frehel where we fished from.

It cleared up lovely in the afternoon, and after 8 hours at sea we all came back pretty sunburnt.

Al fishing from the aft end with his new rod.

The view towards St Jacut in the early afternoon.

Al catches the first fish of the season, a gurnard, or rouget as they are called here.

A few mackerel were caught along with sand eels.

Nothing in the lobster pot tho'

THE 3RD ANNUAL MID SUMMER BBQ.

Was it really or 3rd mid summer BBQ?

Time really does fly.

All the normal suspects were here, including Bruno and Marylene from the bar.

We had Jamaican style Pork Loin, Turkey Tandori, Merguez Sausages along with plenty of Salads, Baguettes, a Cheeseboard and lots of desserts

like Banana & Chocolate Crumble, Apple Flan, Mincemeat Pie, plus a giant Chocolate and Strawberry Doughnut.

All washed down with lashings of wine!

WE HAVE GOT CRABS

Mikhail turned up Sunday evening with 12 spider crabs that he had caught up at Cap Frehel. They were boiled up and were very tasty.

There was even enough for the dogs.

Arthur licked the shell to death.

WORLD CUP V ALGERIA

So after the disappointment of not beating the Yanks, we gave it another go on Friday night.

Another home made 'takeaway" style feast was prepared. This time chilli beef pizza, BBQ ribs, onion rings.

WHY BOTHER!

Total disgrace by the most inept England team I have ever seen.

Luckily we live here and can support the glorious French team on their route to the world cup final..

Well, if they stop striking, and arguing and actually start playing football!

WHAT A BLOODY SHAMBLES!
