Reunited in France

On September 20th Stephen flies in from England after his Caribbean gig and a lightening Oxford visit. With the dynamic Duo back together, the fun continued. Margot and Becs spent a few more days at St Antonin before Paulie and Stephen packed up shop and headed back to Australie.
