Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Giles]

Woke up to better weather....

[Giles]

We made it to Brest. It was a short (17nm) but challenging passage, 2.5 meter waves and a tricky channel through a (what seemed like at the time) very narrow channel with breaking water all around. I definitely needed a Cidre when we moored up. And I did not hit a large, beautiful and very expensive yacht, this time....

Well done captain…and a well deserved cider too.

[Tago Mago]

@motojobobo I suspect @Giles may have allowed himself a cider regardless

[motojobobo]

I don’t blame him @Tago-Mago . As soon as this thread picked up and started flaunting cider pics I’ve noticed my interest in sailing has shot through the roof.

[Giles]

After 8 weeks away, Paula thought she was beginning to look like Einstein, so she’s having her hair cut.

I have better things to do with my time….

[Tago Mago]

@Giles off to pick up some cider?

[Giles]

Getting that from the dodgy tabac tomorrow

[jordanscollected]

@Giles You are the exact type of person people are hoping will be drinking in a pub like that.

[Giles]

I wish I was as young and hip as all the beautiful people here

[Giles]

I’ve fallen in love at least 6 times in the last hour
Edit: make that 8

[Tago Mago]

@Giles Now that I’ve had a closer look at the pic I’ve realised it’s a bar not the hairdressers . I was a little confused by the name

[Giles]

Not sure Paula is getting a shave..

[Tago Mago]

If that really were a hairdresser the name would be slightly offensive to plenty of people

[goosehd]

I’m starting to think @Giles is going to show up at the party in Septembre wearing a beret, moustache, and striped sweater…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd don’t forget the baguette

[Giles]

Paula is now here and chatting up some guy at the bar….

[jordanscollected]

"your denim isn't selvedge, so don't expect anything besides a thank you when you buy me this drink".

[Giles]

In the footsteps of @endo

@Giles is that where the expression a rock and a hard place comes from.
