Sunday in the sun/rain/wind


We have been in Brittany now for almost two weeks. Our routine has needed to take account of the poor weather and the long days where it is not dark until after 10 pm. We have often started the days with an easy walk into town for a baguette and a coffee. Randall is maintaining a regime of an early 5-6 kms run on alternate mornings and we have tried plenty of small local roads to go for an after dinner and before dark stroll. After trying a few variations we have settled on a 3.5-4 kms loop past several farms, local homes, a couple of gites, two light industry facilities, a well being hotel and a gross new house that the local mayor has on the top of the rise. Yvonne has the step counter tuned up and operating and Sarah sets the pace.
Last Sunday we did return to Cancale for our seafood lunch. Each year they have a bit a celebration dedicated to the sea and fishing with plenty of small boats out and about a three of four replica “old timers” strutting around the harbour. Plenty of other visitors about even though this was the last day of celebrations. Saturday was the main day but unfortunately the weather was lousy. But we had our fix.
