Summer.

This gorgeous weather has allowed us to make the most of having Noggin within walking distance. We go down after work, usually its a diet coke but on Friday we strolled down with our lovely neighbours, again, and celebrated the start of summer in style. great to fit all four of us into the cockpit and our little table really came into its own. Now we can't wait for the engine to be fixed so we can go out pottering around the harbour an evenings like these. Our friends with the new racy boat have nipped across to Cherbourg this weekend and the boat that is usually behind us has headed off for a three month cruise to the Baltic, amazing! 
Tonight we saw big mullets under the boat, they seemed to be lying just under the surface with their dorsal fins showing above, surely this was sunbathing? also silver fish in medium, small and tiny sizes in large shoals near the shore and one who looked like a domestic escapee with a bright gold body and black head. There has been no wind so the water goes mirror smooth and picks up the sunset colour, just bliss. 
The bowl on the table has olive oil and a tomato and wine and garlic mix I made up for dipping bread. Yum.
