Thursday was perfect weather for golf - so we played golf

 We were paired with a couple "qui parle anglais" so we approached them on the first tee, armed with our very best "bonjours" to show some "willing" avec le francais. The two of them looked very puzzled and then the bloke said "Do you speak any English" and he was more relieved than me to work out that they were English and that the two of us were native speakers of English. They were Peter & Rachael and for some reason they thought we were Scottish.
A very pleasant game followed and although the other Peter was off his game (he plays of 8) we all enjoyed the golf. Needless to say that Anika beat me by three holes, mostly achieved on the front nine.

We were somewhat mystified to find a boat alongside the 18th green, looking almost like it had been washed up there by last year's storm. Perhaps they have put it there to mark the point to which the sea made ingress during the storm?
