Beach navigator
Saint Raïssa
Kelloggs Crunchy Nut Cornflakes for breakfast.
Pheww, most probably the hottest day (37C) for about a month, so we did what just about everyone else did on a Sunday and head for the beach. Quelle suprise, we got stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the beach. It wasn't too bad because we stopped by the road side and had a picnic with a glass of red wine, which helped enormously. The beach was very busy, busier than high season in August, mainly I think because the weather this summer was much cooler and wetter than normal. Good surf for the kids on the beach and the water was remarkably warm, very pleasant afternoon.
Because of the traffic Caroline did some demon navigating with her large scale 'OS' map along some very minor roads and it only took us a few minutes longer than normal. I felt a bit like a rally driver with a co-pilot, 'left 100 yards, over cross roads, second right, sharp bend....'. Got to see lots of new countryside flash by.
One of Caroline's new chickens laid an egg this morning. So when the man said they were point-of-lay, he was correct, well for one of them anyway.
