May Bank Holiday weekend will always be a poignant one for me - for the last couple of years Gareth's cricket team would go on tour to Paris for the weekend. We had one particularly gorgeous venue we used to play in the grounds of a chateau outside Paris which had a fabulous little zoo. Even though we were in France, there would still be a tea urn, though cucumber sandwiches were often replaced with baguettes, Brie and paté.
Last year we played in Chantilly next to a polo ground. Friends of mine had lots of fun pointing out that Gareth had managed to convince me to combine our honeymoon road trip around the Loire Valley last year with the cricket tour. It was the most fitting end, however, to a beautiful trip. I'll always remember those sunny bank holiday weekends driving with the roof down along French country roads listening to Bruce Springsteen singing Cadillac Ranch.
