RWC 2023

We managed to go to the Ireland v Tonga game in Nantes thanks to Lauren.

I chance for me to wear my green shirt- last seen RWC 2011 quarter final?

Good experience and an excuse to visit Nantes again and see Lauren ‘for real’.

Good atmosphere in the stadium with mostly green shirts around. Match not bad, and relatively easy for Ireland in the end.

I did pick up a bit of the ‘who is real Irish’ with a person were were sitting with and similarly on the bus back to the centre after the game.

Good chats with Lauren’s friends who were sat next to me. Good practice of la langue frainçaise!

Moving on

We moved out of Mervyn today. The van and car packed up and on our way to France. Currently sitting in a lane in Portsmouth waiting to board the ferry to Saint Malo. The Perce on board to help again with shifting.

Paimpol

A day off from renovating the house, one bit at a time. A trip to the seaside that included a short walk on the ‘sentier douanier’ and a bust to a lovely chocolate shop.
