Saturday 3 June
Today Mate honoured a long-standing promise of a ‘Girls go to Blackpool’ weekend, hosting lunch on board for two lovely friends (one I’ve met before, in London), and one very active young lady who was delighted to make the acquaintance of my teddy crew. While Skipper was left to clear up the debris,
they all disappeared to see said young lady’s new baby sister, and later to enjoy a very civilised supper at their favourite eatery, the Olive Tree Brasserie in St Anne’s on Sea. Mate was eventually delivered back by the very generous private taxi service.
