Friday 18th February 2011

Woke up to a sunny morning, especially for Sarah, as it’s her birthday! As her main present is at home waiting for her, we’d done her a jokey “Lucky dip” which we made last all day, mean I know!

After breakfast we went for a walk along the beach front and sat in the sun. Had a nose in one or two shops and Sarah bought a very summery bracelet. At the end of the promenade is a small harbour and fish market selling all sorts of freshly caught fish etc. A few motorhomes were wild camping nearby, but I’m not sure I’d want to sleep there! We returned to the camp for lunch and birthday cake with candles, how to embarrass a nineteen year old!

In the evening we went to a local restaurant which is run by a French woman and had really good reviews on trip adviser. They collect you and take you home again in a mini bus free of charge! The reviews were spot on, we were welcomed at the door and shown to our table like regulars. When she discovered it was Sarah’s 19th she said to Sarah “You must have Champagne”! Thanks I thought, then she said we should all have Champagne, followed by those magic words “On the house”. Oh well how we could refuse! The meal was great, beautiful presentation and wonderful flavours. Sarah and I had crepes for desert and mine had Grand Marnier lit in a small pan at the table, before being poured over the crepe, very good! A really good find, just as well it’s not our local as we’d all weigh 18 stone and I’d be broke!

Happy birthday Sarah.
