While the Monty Don of Saumur was tending our neighbour’s garden, we picked his brains about when to treat our lawn and re-sow the bare patches – and he chanced his arm at practising his English with Jennie. .
But, when he came to leave, his car wouldn’t start - he had had his hazard warning lights on all morning and the battery did not have enough juice! As nobody local had any jump leads, Henri (with his new hip) and Mike just had to push! There was a lot of shouting "allons-y" and laughing as they raced down the road – sadly I did not find the camera till it was all over.

Gale force winds of 120km/hr (80mph) have been forecast in the English Channel for Sunday when we were planning to return - I have persuaded Finners to delay our return until Tuesday when there are only "mild" gale force winds.
