We had a humungous day today. First we have breakfast at 06.30 in order to get the guys (pictured below - during dinner the night before) off to Montpellier for their early morning flight back to London and then we high tail it back because we are hosting a French friend's 45th wedding anniversary.

Our French friends turn up at 09.30 to erect some shade and lay the tables. It's 32C in the shade so what do they chose for their main course - paella - Monsieur Chef turns up an hour beforehand and, after setting up his kitchen in full sun, he starts to cook his paella on the terrace. Admittedly it had already been part cooked but I bet a bit of honest French sweat fell in at some point (oh gross! - Ed.). Having said that it did taste good! In order to cheer my flagging spirits, I sneaked off to watch England struggle to beat Ecuador 1-0. Anyway, win we did (ah it's the royal we now! - Ed.) and the final plates were cleared and the tent pulled down at 19,30. Shattered, we stumbled to bed and slept for 11 hours. Bliss!
