We’re up and ready for the rugby resisting Dave’s suggestion for beer in favour of Derek’s PG tips. Two games later it’s time for brunch before more car maintenance in which the Frog’s other rear brakes are sorted, the Magnette’s pump points are cleaned up and the fuel and timing checked, and the MGB generally stroked lovingly by Derek whilst praying nothing else goes wrong as he’s losing 4 to 3 to 3 in the conking out stakes. 5pm and off to the beach! A visit to the Carrefour for more supplies sees Dave and Andy guarding the cars and generally chatting to English and French admirers (of the vehicles, obviously) whilst chucking a rugby ball around the car park. A pathetic pass from Andy causes Dave to look under the MGB which is standing over a puddle……….which cheers Derek up no end. 5-3-3! A loose hose at the bottom of the radiator is remedied and we finally head off for the beach where everyone was admiring something topless, the French the cars and……….
Back to the cottage for a sit on the patio, some beer and the usual banter until it’s time for dinner where Andy excels in presentation, Nigel in frying, Derek in ratatouille prep and Dave in wine drinking.
And so to bed…….
