We parked at the golf course as usual and then walked along the beaches then up onto the prom to the harbour. The Wee Hurrie (the takeaway part of McCallum’s restaurant) was doing a roaring trade in fish and chips, with a long queue at the window. It will be so good when the cafés and restaurants open again next week.
Then we walked back to the golf course, pausing on the way for James to buy himself a newspaper. By the time we arrived back at the beach beside the golf course we had walked 10 km and I was a bit overheated. I was soon revived by our picnic lunch washed down by a flask of coffee prepared by James and I went for a refreshing paddle in the sea. We had a very relaxing afternoon on the beach reading and chatting. There was not a cloud in the deep blue sky.
When we got home we had a very important rendezvous with the television. We watched the very last episode of Engrenages (also known in the UK as Spiral). Over the last few months we have watched all eight series of this excellent crime drama. It has such high quality plots and acting and I’m very sad that we have finished it - although I was also very keen to find out what happened to all of the characters. The last episode was very exciting and was a fitting ending. I will miss Roban (who actually left at the end of series 7), Gilou, Tintin, Beckriche, Brémont, Edelman, Josephine Karlsson, the (handsome but deceased in Series 5) Pierre Clémont, and of course most of all the complex, brilliant and completely unmanageable Laure Berthaud.
