Mike ,Joanna, Wayne and Kate really enjoyed their meal at La Fourneaux last night. The cost was £30 per head, including wine, and Wayne, who has his birthday today, and who lives in central London, claimed that a meal of equivalent quality would have cost at least £80 per head. I have to agree. They don't get back until 1.30 am and I had visions of them getting stuck in a ditch somewhere. Not so, the meal went on until very late.

It is very hot today, 30C in the shade at one point and Ginny and Will head off for another golf course. Rather them than me. The pool looks very inviting at the moment. We all agree to visit Sommieres to see a Course Camargaise this afternoon. For those that do not know, it involves razateurs (young men) attempting to take a medallion or some such from the base of a bulls horns whilst it is charging at them. There were some very close calls, and generally it was very exciting but a little tedious by the end. The bulls, however, become progressively more 'frisky' as time wears on and the spectacle more dangerous. This is a dangerous sport and not for the faint hearted, in or out of the ring.

Jan cooks ribs tonight. An excellent dinner with lots of laughs. After everyone has gone to bed, Max decides that he will stay outside and no amount of coaxing from Jan will make him come inside. In the end we leave him to come in when he is ready by leaving a door open. What is it with him at the moment?

Hi
You were not the only ones at the Sommieres Course Camarguaise on Sunday.
The Languedoc Page has observers throughout Languedoc, and one of them has written the full story here : http://www.the-languedoc-page.com/languedoc-articles36.htm
Of course the private report on the behaviour of your party is safe with me. We must discuss fees shortly ?
Peter
