Large parts of the week were like this…
…but we did manage to escape into the wilds for a walk along the Blavet at St Nicolas des Eaux (which turns out to be closed on Tuesdays). We saw lots of kingfishers, a giant fish leaping out of the water and the odd rain shower which caused us to put on and take off our waterproofs several times.
By Thursday we were able to head out for an early morning walk up to one of the locks and back, with a blowy trip to Larmor-Plage in the afternoon…
…and on Friday we raided Leclerc at Hennebont for supplies and then hit the beach at Lomener for a swim.
In between I managed some very green crochet…
…and some excellent naps.
I’ve seen shooting stars in the dark skies, Eurofighters over Lorient and a coypu in a tree, eaten almost two whole truckles of Port Salut and many, many prawns.
Lots of birds of prey (BOPs) have been spotted, including hen harriers and buzzards. Owls and coypu have soundtracked the night, and bats have swooped and dipped around us.
The trip back was, of course, in glorious sunshine.
A stop to feed the sparrows at aire de Bolleville….
…and finally back to my family, at least some of whom have missed me.
Looking forward to a swim today! And a tube strike all week…oh joy.
Normal service will resume!
