Did anyone notice that we were on the front page of 'Travel' the other week? I nearly spluttered on my Sunday morning coffee when I saw Champagnekate with a smokin gun on the cover!
I can see why they wrote the article - holidays with the MOB really are fun. Ok, there might be some underground activity going (like in any true MOB!).
It doesn't take long before the illicit substances come out and discrete deals are done. Jules trades in a special kind of commodity, one she will only bring out once darkness settles, wine is drunk and the MOB has reacquainted themselves with established rules of behaviour.
"This stuffs pretty heavy", I heard her say to an unsuspecting Fran. "We all need to look out for one another when we do this. Once you start, you can't stop." A hushed tone descended then and the MOB looked on in awe as Jules unwrapped the contraband.
"It's worth heaps on the black market". She said. "My contact had to order this months ago, and even then it was dodgy to get through customs." Nods went round the table. Someone slugged back some wine. "So, she said. "Whose gonna go first?"
Nine pairs of eyes looked widely on as one brave surfermum picked up the dark, gooey substance, placed it on her tongue and waited for it to melt. Moments later she looked up and smiled.
"Delicious", she said. "Annie's brownies sure are good after a day in the surf!"
