Friday arrived and baked us as we settled into our usual lunchtime spot on the deck of the Powerboat Club which sits right on Monouth Beach. A couple of sandwiches consumed, eagerly watched by our numerous canine friends in case morsels were dropped and then a snooze in the sun before heading back inside to pick up where we had left off.
In the evening we were back on the beach having beers when Jackson & Chris decided to settle the 'Last one out of the sea wins a beer' challenge and in true Reginald Perrin style they tackled the beach in bare feet whilst shedding their clothes and entered the frigid water. Jackson was indeed the last to leave and the beer was won although I think has yet to be delivered to the victor on account that both contestants were freezing and headed off to find some dry clothes.
Chris and James appeared with a bag of off cuts from the Academy and some firelighters and headed down the beach to find a suitable spot to set up for the evening and so we joined them as the fire roared, sausages were cooked in an old chip pan basket held over the flames and Liz & Sean entertained us all with a display of fire baton twirling.
Saturday was a lazy day and I awoke to find a large portion of the beach in my bed as I had returned home and collapsed after climbing back up into Uplyme on Anneka. I lazed around home most of the day and later a cycle down to the BBA resulted in some afternoon beers on the seafront amongst the tourists who leaped out of the way as I gave Jackson a croggy along the promenade on Anneka. Due to budgetary restraints we ended up back at the Powerboat club who's bar charges a bit less for a pint and settled in for the sunset.
