Several weeks ago, World Cup Fever hit England, which resulted in the English flag on every car, window and pub in sight, everyone talking about football (even though who had no previous interest), and I'm sure there have been record sales of beer. However, after the embarrassing 4-1 loss against Germany last weekend, the Brits have suddenly begun to pretend there is no such thing as football. World Cup? What World Cup? The flags have been slowly disappearing and people are losing interest in who's going through to the next round. We headed to the pub last week to watch the game and there were lots of unhappy campers afterwards.
The boys debriefing afterwards. There are smiles, but not on the inside!
Last week also saw the start of Wimbledon 2010, and seeing as we live only a few minutes walk away there was no excuse not to go! So Wednesday night we headed down and got some grounds tickets for £12, allowing us to watch all the outside courts matches. Henman Hill was jam packed as the Andy Murray match was in its final set.
The obligatory Wimbledon strawberries and cream.
We managed to score some centre court ticket returns for £5 to watch the women's doubles quarter finals before heading home for a glass of champagne to round off the evening :)

The spoils of our trip, cheese and chocolate galore!! Must say though, when we made our way down to the car after the ferry ride back to Dover it was a little smelly! 
Brugges.
Lovely but rainy Brugges.
First stop in Brugges, hot chocolate. Pure chocolate on a stick, whoever thought of this is a genius!
The night we stayed in Wierre Effroy we had dinner at a fantastic place which was a B&B, fromagerie and restaurant and run by the son of the couple who ran our B&B. We had the most fantastic three course meal with bread and wine for a fraction of the price you'd pay for the same quality in London. Highly recommended!! 
The fillet of beef we both had for our main course, amazing!
James went for the foie gras for a starter. Whilst I have an issue with how it's produced, I must admit I had a taste and it was incredible. From someone who doesn't like pate or anything liver related that's saying something.....still feeling guilty though!
Beautiful garden at our B&B.
