Autumn is well and truly here now. It has it's bonuses tho, as we have picked up lots of freebies off the hazelnut, walnut, & chestnut trees.
All the harvesting is happening right now and the giant maize fields are being cut down so at last we can have a good view when walking the dogs.

Bella takes a break from this mornings long walk.


Arthur doesn't get tired when out walking.

At last you can get "mullered" at Bruno's and grab a take away.

SMUGGLING

Of all you people who have visited us, most have taken back nice French wine, or Calvados, cheaper ciggies.
But you are all wrong if you think you are saving a few quid on a bit of plonk.
THE FUTURE IS.......
A 3 pack of tinned peas and carrots. Onle 1 euro 45 at Super U.
Paul was that impressed he smuggled some back to blighty.





Paul and Nick came out for a few days. We had lunch at Erquy and went to Cap Frehel on a wet and murky day.


It warmed up a bit by Saturday.
