Deux Matelots en Bretagne: June 2014

Monday 30 June 2014

A walk along the front at St Cast on Saturday evening,

and a fantastic rainbow.

Might feel unwell, might feel hungover, but

a walk in the local countryside with the 3 dogs always leaves a good feeling.

Brilliant weather for 2 weeks, but now much needed rain.

Bales of hay everywhere.

Wheat nearly ready in the field.

Sun baked lazy days.

And a country that is still in the World Cup!

Yours truly did the curry for the RNA function on Saturday.

Onion bhajis, curry balls, and a Chicken Tikka masala was served for 34 people on a very warm midsummer's day.

Saturday night was Fried Chicken night at the Gard manoir.

All the trimmings of a KFC night without the BBQ Beans.

Alan, Jane, Bill, Sharon, Mikhail, and Natasha all came round for this weight watchers extravaganza.

Tiramisu, Chocolate and Ginger cake added to the calorie fest,

And here is the 1st pic of Shep yawning.

I know, I know, could have been a bit more exciting, but there is more than one button on this thing.

The snappy small camera that we bought last week, has now taken a picture of the "sooper camera" that we have bought to do some serious photography.

The Panasonic FZ72 with 16 million pixie type things, and 60 times zoom.

Going to have to read the instructions on this one.

Sorry for the delay in posting.
The old camera packed up last week after 3 years of service.
So we have decided to buy 2 new cameras to replace it.

The first one has taken these photos, and is a simple "slip in your handbag" sort of ready snapper thing.

The 2nd camera will arrive Friday and is a serious piece of kit with 60X lens and all the works.
Can't wait to get started with that.
