Curacao – UK – Provence – UK- Provence (Mike to Aus) – UK - Curacao

Mike spends early June on Curacao, getting the boat lifted, doing all the last minute jobs, hiding things of value and eventually gets back to UK on 6^th. Kate spends it in RNOH Stanmore!

The rest of the month we spend a lovely time in Provence with our Canadian friends Georgie and David who we first met somewhere in the Bahamas. A great eating and drinking (rose) time had by all.

 2 style-icon couples!

July, back to UK for various reasons, including The Great Hythe Raft Race where “Team 007 You only sink once”  managed a creditable 2^nd place in their heat and raised over £400 for Padua Ward, William Harvey Hospital, despite the cold and rain!

  The “California 60^th Birthday Party Team!”

……and then back off to Provence!

via Le Touquet Westminster Hotel for cocktails and dancing with Pete & Fan

and, of course, Burgundy for champers and foie gras, to find a cloud in the sky in Provence!
