ONE NIGHT IN RENNES

With guests Eamonn, Chrissy, and Geoff, we took

the train down to Rennes for a night out.

Booked a fairly decent Mercure hotel right in the middle of the city,

and headed out to eat and drink.

Just one thing wrong with Rennes at the moment and that

is they are building an underground metro system,

so every corner was a building site.

Pity really, but we will return in 4 years when

it is finished.

Had to take a picture of the two WRENS at Rennes station.

Then Monday at home being Geoff's last night, we

had a bit of a curry feast.

Good times as ever at the Gard Manoir.

NAVY ASSOCIATION IN BORSEUL

Thursday 16th we went to the nearby village

of Borseul for the monthly RNA meet up.

We have guests out for the week.

My old Warrant Officer Caterer from Northwood,

Geoff Stephenson, who now works for the cruise

lines at P&O, plus we have our annual visit

from Chrissy and Eamonn Smith which is always

a fun filled few days.

34 turned up for the BBQ, on a seriously warm afternoon.

Enjoyed by all.

ANOTHER MARIE CAKE

Marie has made another great cake, this time

for our friend up the road Chrissy's birthday.

FIRST LOCAL GIG OF THE SUMMER.

The local hunt sponsored the first event

of the summer at the lake in St Potan.

Bar opened at 12 pronto with the ridiculous 

price of 5 euros for a bottle of wine.

As you can see we got there early doors,

but it soon filled up with 200 attending.

4 courses of cold buffet,a roast ham on

the bone with couscous and ratatouille. 

The previous nights thunder storms had passed,

and a sultry summer afternoon was much enjoyed.

Then followed by a few games of pallette.

Chucking weighted discs into a box with 5 compartments.

Another fine afternoon in France.

SCORCHIO WEATHER IS HERE.

With temperatures rising, I went out on the

scooter Sunday afternoon to take a few 

pictures of some of the local beaches.

As you can see, it is rarely crowded here.

Pen Guen beach above and below.

Then the Grande Plage at St Cast taken 

from the far end away from the town.
