Should you be anywhere near Selles-sur-Cher and feeling peckish I can thoroughly recommend their pizzeria.

We stopped there for a snack on the way back from playing golf at Cheverney. I travelled up on Thursday with Jean and John in the latter’s very smart BMW 4X4. We arrived in time to lunch with Ernest, a fellow senior golfer from a different club, and then played our reconnaissance round in preparation for Friday’s competition.

It was very hot but as we finished a cooling rainstorm blew up and was still raging when we arrived at our hotel. Notwithstanding the lightning that accompanied the evening meal the food and wine went down a treat. Its fortifying effect was however only apparent in Jean’s play the following day. He made the podium while the rest of us languished prizeless.
