And this years winner is............
Peter finally won the pool competition having lost 2 previous finals and collected the much sort after trophy a cup donated by our local bank CMB. The final was a 3 way affair with John and Phil competing hard but out classed by the wily shots of Peter. Fortunately the contestants aren't drug tested as all 3 would have failed with too high alcohol content. Xav retained his junior title ( its slightly unfair as he gets to practise on the table throughout the year ) and Paulien won the Plate competition ( the losers Cup ). The last couple weeks it almost feels as if we are on holiday as most of the clients are repeaters ( some for 10 years ) and other than doing the basics it a very socialable time for us. Paulien even had time to make some division curtains for a gite with Frances who is a top curtain designer with her own range and label of interior fabrics designs.Some very happy weeks much enjoyed by all who stayed here.

That's really it now Simon - I can't stand the pressure of defending the title, so it's Disneyland or the Outer Hebrides next year for the Cole clan. You know how it is - when you want something so badly and for so long... and when you get it it life seems somehow meaningless and shallow.
It could just be the remnants of a 4 - day hangover of course , what with alcohol being a depressant and all that . Whose bright idea was it anyway to make whisky the drink du soir ? .... and the tot-per-shot rule was just ridiculous ( yes I'm talking to you Uncle "Evenin' all" John ) in a 3 way playoff !
This is what Eeyore's victory speech would be like probably. Time for some sleep I think. The ferry back was very rock and roll last night.
Simon, Paulien, Max , Bas and Xav - we "salut" you. Thanks for another fantastic time. Anyone that hasn't stayed with you lot doesn't know what they're missing.
Love
Peter and the rest of the Swindon ( near Marlborough for the upmarket reader ) Charbons
