We started the summer with a trip to York to drive some nice cars and visit Oscar, our middle son who is studying there.

Then we moved on to Tenerife for a few days of sunshine, followed by a trip to Chinon in France, on the motorbikes, where it was very hot indeed! Stunning part of the world though.

We’ve also spent some time in local waters bobbing around and taking the occasional dip. Carteret, on the Normandy coast, for lunch, was one definite highlight.
