Les Issambres & St Tropez

A week of relaxation overlooking the Mediterranean, with a trip to St Tropez thrown in. As it is strictly holiday material I will dwell only on a few choice aspects.

Table-tennis: Losing to Edmund, repeatedly, even if only in knockabouts.

Churchill: We will fight them... ... ...on the beaches, Simon.

With a tow-row-row-row-row-row-row for the British Grenadiers: Simon and everyone.

Mike Oldfield: with a special mention to Ali.

Géant Casino, Fréjus: the last minute dash with Tom (Bon)

Petrol-fired barbecuing: Tom.

Cooking: Noreen a particular stalwart.

Mosquitoes (more on that later): to my noble co-sufferer Katherine.

Lethal drinkies: Elen, whose making sure I was alright and giving of pillows is one of few memories left of that evening.

Dorling Kindersley Cards: with quizmaster Usman.
