A weekend Away

The Rugby team we support, London Wasps were drawn against Union Bordeaux Bègles in the European Challenge Cup this season.  As soon as the fixtures were announced, I booked the flights for Pip and me, together with my son Andrew.  Therefore 11 - 13 November we were at La Matha.

There were other things to do apart from the rugby.  We went shopping in Leroy Merlin in Bordeaux for toilet, washbasin and tiles to refurbish the small shower-room upstairs (more on that later), and of course, we had to visit St Foy market!

Saturday evening, we had a nice meal in a restaurant in the shadow of the football stadium where the game was being held.  That was followed by a bit of a walk-over by Wasps - six tries to two: 14-47 - but that really capped a great weekend.

Oh yes - the weather was fantastic - 20c during the day!  We had both breakfasts outside on the terrace - that's what it's all about!
