It's Saturday and time to get the paper so we get our free World Cup Wallchart. I need a good walk anyway to work off the steak and chips I had last night. It's before breakfast and we spot Big John on the green having his morning bowl. The day's initial timetable is discussed and after breakfast it's a walk past the ancestoral home, which Big D remembers. This is good news as he hasn't remembered much else about his boyhood holidays here. From here it's a lovely walk on country lanes to Orchard Stores, where Big John used to work as a baker's boy (the interior of the store doesn't look like it's changed much in 40 odd years....) and onwards then, to the beautiful Freshwater Bay... we even spot the spinnakers of the stragglers in the Round The Island Race.
