I went last year and thoroughly emjpyed myself - despite being stood up by Sir John, who never replied to my texts!!! (Mutter - said battery flay, mutter - heard that before!)

Can thoroughly recommend Les Souilles de Fond Du Cale (sp?)- from Brittany - brilliant blokes, with a touch of je ne sais quoi!

Doubt I'll get there this year as I've only just arrived back from the high seas myself, and need to catch up with things a bit - and always have dog to consider (who, embarrassingly, howls at shanties!)

Hope it goes well xx
