Corps de Garde & Bradford v Arsenal

After several days of torrential rain (yes, the lake has returned to our garden) it's hard to remember just last week when we went for a lovely stroll along the beach at Corps de Garde, just before La Terrière.

Low tide but you can see the powerful waves not too far away...
...and beautiful patterns made in the sand.
It was rather cool for any takers here!
They've been renovating the old 'écluses à poissons' (stone dams where fish become trapped as the tide goes out) 

Practise your French (or just enjoy the film) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poPJZHdGLvA

Meanwhile back at the Starfish, a big night for Matt's team Bradford City who managed to beat Arsenal 3:2 on penalties.

Even your faithful blogger had to get in on the act, Cynthia very amused!
We're winning!
Someone's a happy chappy.
Not the biggest crowd of the year, unlike at Valley Parade!
I can't watch!!
