Bank Holiday blues

As Norfolk Branch and Midlands Branch are both off having a bit of an adventure, Suffolk Branch are feeling at a bit of a loose end this weekend, especially as the weather is being typically Bank Holiday - ish. We've put our bear BBQ on hold and have decided to cheer ourselves up by reminiscing about our recent holiday in northern France. Here you can see us resting our weary paws and catching a few rays after scrambling up a big sandy cliff from which point we waved at our bear friends across La Manche.

Then in a spirit of entente cordiale, we decided to try the local fare and as we were at the seaside, it had to be moules mariniere. We were amazed at the 101 different ways to cook them and quite fancied the curry and beer varieties but in the end we thought we'd start with the traditional way. Kiwi fell in the pot moments after the photo was taken - you can see he's looking a bit off balance - and had to be rescued by Isaiah but after that escapade we slurped away and found them quite tasty! But we drew the line at the oysters our minder opted for - well we wouldn't want to choke on a pearl would we? Watch out for odd petit dejeuner choices later in the week. A bientot!
