The tennis was good this morning. William and I got ahead by three games in the first set, then the 'young uns' came at us like a steam train. They played really well and took the set 7-5. We tried really hard but couldn't stop them. Anyway, we took the second set 6-3 and regained a little pride. Great fun.

As soon as we'd finished Jan and I had to pop over to Bryan and Gill's to work on a detailed plan for the wedding breakfast on the Saturday. With 15 tables of 8 people to serve and only 5 helpers, it needs to be well organised otherwise it could turn into a shambles. B&G who have lots of experience of this kind of thing, with vastly bigger numbers, had very kindly offered to host a planning meeting. It was just as well that we did because several important items that had not been properly considered came to light. Thanks B&G.

Having to ensure a group of people get fed next Thursday, we popped into the relais to see if they would open for a party of 11. I asked Olivier two questions, the first was, would you open next week, he said no, and the second, could we eat now and he said no. It was worth a try, but it makes you think.
