BASTILLE DAY CAR BOOT

We got to the car boot at St Lormel every 14th July.

Hundreds of stalls selling all sorts of tat.

First bought the Navy looking Anchor beer glasses,

origin Alsace.

Then I saw these 2 Artillery shell cases from WW1

Couldn't believe it when she said 5 euros the pair.

Anyway, got them home and did some research

on the case markings.

Turns out they were both made at Woolwich Arsenal in 1917,

and marked for shipping out to the front that year.

They will be 100 years old next year, so

am well chuffed with the purchase.

DAY IN DINAN

Had Friday in Dinan.

Good old bimble round the old streets.

Never get bored of Dinan, that's why

we always take visitors there.

Stopped for a drink...THEN!...

She had to buy the bleedin dress on the

left outside the shop, for the best part

of 75 euros.

Tempered my anger with a decent lunch at

the Atypic. Skewers of meat and

a mountain of chips.

8/10 rating.

DO AT THE LAKE

Lesley is over for a couple of weeks,

and we have had a few nice meals out.

Sunday was a bit more basic, with a village

meal down at the lake.

Nothing like the smell of roasting ham

over an oak wood fire.

Around 150 turned up on a damp afternoon, 

with a well supported cash bar.

VISITORS

Mid June visitors in the shape of

Gaz & Kaz.

Plenty of rugby, football, wine,

and of course meals out.

Thursday we went to the Auberge du Manoir

in the village, along with Alan & Jane, John & Chrissy.

Then it was back to the Garden Theatre

to watch England thrash Wales in the football.

49,767

Nearly 50,000 hits on this website.

So to the lucky person who is the 50,000

visitor will win an all inclusive holiday

to the Gard Manoir.

You will be flown 1st class on Ryanair's 

finest aircraft, from East Midlands to

Dinard. Once you have paid for the flight.

A flight that will include unlimited drinks,

should you have the money, and the chance

to win 1 million euros on one of their scratchcards.

You will then be whisked away in a self pay

taxi to St Potan where you will have 3 days in

the best suite, with wine and food included.

(Once you have chipped in for it)

Thanks for your support over the years everyone.

50th ANNIVERSARY OF St POTAN FC

The village celebrated the 50th year of the football team

with a squad game, then a veterans match

Of course the bar was open and a good

200 or so turned up to watch.

Then there was a meal down the lake

catered for by the Auberge du Manoir,

which was by far and away the best

we have ever had down the lake.

310 for the meal, followed by a late night

disco.

Memorable evening.

SET FOR SUMMER

Have left the marquee up after the Navy

curry event here, so decided to put

a TV in and the Mag Box which gives me all

the sport, all the latest movies, and more.

A great summer of Euro football awaits.

If you are close by...come on down.
