We had a week off last week and escaped the traffic-jam mayhem of Royal Ascot at York by heading down
to the in-laws' in Essex, John and Jackie.

On Tuesday of that week, John, Looby and me went across to France on what can only be described as a
"booze cruise", i believe the term is. J stayed in Southend with his Grandma for that day as it would have been a long day travelling for
him all that way. This is the three of us about to embark, set against the white cliffs of Dover.

Once safely arrived a francais, we wasted no time in heading for the HALF-UK-PRICE booze, at the
brilliant Cite Europe shopping emporium in Calais.

As you can see here, we needed so much booze that Looby had to employ a shopping list.

I don't know how the car stayed intact and in one piece with all that liquor in the boot.
And I sure as heck dont know how we got back into the country.

While in Essex we also went to see Great Grandma in Colchester.

We also went to Priory Park, in Southend...
