bread, He broke it into pieces and gave one to each of his dis­ ciples to eat, saying that this was his body, broken for them, and gave each a sip of wine to represent his bloodshed on their behalf.

We had two static car- avans, both of which


were in locations which would make "Carry On Camping" look like a British Tourist Board promotional video by


comparison. The first was in some far-flung region of France, which had all the character and charm of the Californ­ ian dust bowl. Having proudly boasted about our "exotic" breakaway home to the Jones's next door, we spent one desolate holiday in what seemed like a Gal­ lic desert and realised we could probably have spent a more agreeable spell with the French Foreign Legion.

Based on a monster site in Marlow- upon-Thames. in Bucking­ hamshire, our lovely sum­ mer home was a mere microcosm among the thousands of other cara­ vans and the dwellers that resided in them in order "to get away from it all". Admittedly, there was some good fishing to be had on the river. At least there was before 7 a.m. in the morning, when the water- 1 way became the boating equivalent of the M6 at junction 13.

Badgered into role


WANTED: A mature man to


become a Sabden badger. Finding weasels, stoats and fer­


rets to appear in the St Mary's and Friends production of Toad of Toad Hall has been easy - but casting a badger is proving to be a


problem. Producer and Director of the


show, Mrs Dee Bottoms, said: "We have a rat and a mole, but no bad­ ger. We need a mature man with acting experience. It is a musical


but badger doesn't have to sing." The show will be taking place at


St Nicholas Church in Sabden between September 9th to 12th. Anyone who would like to take


part in the countryside tale can phone Mrs Bottoms on 773984.
