Lac de Parisot and the uncommonwealth games

The sun shone briefly when we got to Parisot Lac this morning. We had a ball to play netball on the court next to the lake. Divided into teams, I was the last to be picked, but someone had to have me. The game was a fast moving, quick scoring one with me being a runner, Malc being a blocker on the opposing team and the two lanky ones being shooters.

The score was 5 all,  when there was a bit of rough stuff  where someone got an elbow in the eye and father of the children was shown the red card.
A tired and disgruntled set of family players made their way to the restaurant in the wooden hut, which by the way comes highly recommended. The food was excellent but the chilly wind and lack of sun took us back years to being children,  on the beach at Saltburn. Today it was so chilly you could have been forgiven for thinking we were in the North of England rather than in SW France!
