Much excitement here, as we have learnt that Maxie’s new sofas have arrived. The picture below shows them in place, and has won plaudits from those Allstars with interior design expertise.

James Hindle commented: “That’s rather good.”

Morgsy is officially out of the tour – unable to get a seat on today’s Southampton flight. Shame – he’ll be missed.

At the time of writing, Vivek and the Rocket are at Southampton airport and due to fly at 10.30am. Good luck lads.

Chadders, James A and I have just had breakfast in the hotel. Here are the official stats on what we ate:

Chadders – 3 x pains au chocolat, 1 x kiwi, 1 x apple, 4 x cups of coffee, 4 x glasses of orange juice.

James – 2 x baguette with black cherry jam, 3 x pains au chocolat, orange juice.

Maxie – 3 x Babybel, 3 x croissant, 2 x baguette pieces, 2 x cups of tea, orange juice.

No sign yet of any other tourists.

Squadron Leader Jackson did us proud by finding a lovely al fresco restaurant in Bergerac.

Highlights of the meal included Paul Nicol tipping six portions of croutons into his soup (which was an unpopular move amongst the other five guys who had ordered soup with croutons); and Maxie being sick down the front of his shirt.
