Queer Writing for a Queer World
//
A trip to a local vineyard splits the group, and Ben and his friends are left at the beach. This time, they have three girls with them, wanting them to make good on their promise of going to the nude beach. When they get settled, the nude beach offers them more freedom, and they become emboldened to satisfy their desires.

I know I’ve been a little distant recently and unresponsive, so I’d like to thank all of you who have left comments, especially from new contributors. I’ve now read them and appreciate them. I love the ones where you tell me your experiences.
It has been a stressful few weeks lurching from one family issue to another, and I seem to be the one who helps and supports the others. But it has had a detrimental effect on my mental health, and I’ve been trying to hold things together. The sleepless nights are the worst; your mind runs rampant, and you are left feeling tired all day.
I’ve decided that now is the time to look after myself and give myself permission to be a little selfish. I’ve not written anything for several weeks and want to start writing again. I need to finish the story of Ben Masters and his camping trip in France, and I’m eager to start some new stories that have been swimming around my head.
It’s a bank holiday weekend, so I’m hoping the extra day off on Monday will help me recharge my batteries, and I’ll be posting the next instalment of Ben’s French adventure shortly.
Thank you all. You are the best, and I appreciate all your support.

Ben and his friends spend the day at a local waterpark. Of course, they are wearing their light blue Speedos, but no one cares except Mr Fisher. This was the first excursion Ben hadn’t complained about. When they get back to the campsite, Ben finally gets to have a shower, and he takes Calvin with him.

Ben is still upset with Fisher after being punished yesterday. But the excursion to an old town doesn’t interest Ben, and he fakes a sickness to stay on the coach. Spending time with Charlie is much more pleasurable than walking around an historic French town.
