Back in France at last!

We are finally back in France. Brittany to be precise, and we have found that we love it just as much as we always have. It’s a bit cloudy this morning with a threat of a little rain, so, Heather’s painting and I’m blogging again. (At last ! I hear you all cry).

Travelled down on Tuesday/Wednesday via Portsmouth-Caen and it was a nice easy drive which we split. We have to decide whether the poor night’s sleep on the ferry was worse than having to use the M25.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday were hot and sunny. Did a bit of orientation, found a lovely beach and explored Quimper which is a really nice town on the River Odet.
I’m trying to understand why I feel so at home here. We have a small gite on a farm about 10 minutes from the nearest town of Rosporden. It’s very quiet apart from birdsong. We found the local Super U yesterday so we have everything we need within 10 minutes drive. There is a lack of local restaurants so we are mainly self catering except for the occasional lunch out.
May go out somewhere after lunch or just stay here and chill. Biggest problem on the horizon is what to have with the pile of scallops we got yesterday.

    I’ve just received a rather dinky folding bluetooth keyboard from those tax avoiders at Amazon. I thought that if I was going to blog while we were walking the Camino, I really needed a keyboard and at 25 squid, this looks ideal. Problem No. 1 is I can’t find the pound sign, but the keyboard…

    We’re just back from a couple of days in Clitheroe. It’s a lovely town and it’s only 40 minutes away from us. I was bought a night in The Spinning Block Hotel, which is part of the Holmes Mill complex, for my birthday last November and we finally managed to take advantage of my very…

    Another walk in the country on Saturday. This time in The Forest of Bowland from Slaidburn up to Stocks Reservoir and back. This is a beautiful walk which can be extended or reduced with several optional starting points. There were very few people about, presumably as the fine weather had sent everyone off to The…

  • Autumn on the way

    After a day of grey skies and rain yesterday, this morning the sun shone and the sky was blue. I’m keeping my eye on the chestnut tree at the side of Lytham Hall and waiting for it to show its full autumn glory, so there may be more pictures similar to these.
