Pétanque at Saxmundham

Bit of a trek for us but was worthwhile.  We were split into pairs and played mini (or should that be micro) matches.  It worked surprisingly well with everyone getting to play four games.  I took along my home-made circles that everyone seemed to like.  The pistes were great to play on and the weather held up.

Thank you to Jenny the organiser and the gang for welcoming us and laying on cakes and drinks.  We hope to go again sometime.

I had some spare time so I made candy hearts.  It was hard not to use swear words.  Go here to make your own.... http://www.acme.com/
