BADGER THE MOVIE

Managed to get our badger film up.

SPRINGWATCH FRANCE.

I got a night vision camera for Xmas, and not

really had the chance to put it to the test.

On dog walks we always see the large holes in the forest,

and wondered if it was foxes or badgers.

We now have our answer.

I also have some video, but with the bandwidth here,

it would take a week to load it.

FISHING AT SEA.

Not been out on Mikhail's boat

for a couple of years. So a long 

overdue morning at sea was in order.

3 hours, nice weather,,,

One piddly mackerel.

BIG RACE CYCLING

The Tour de Bretagne held a stage in the village

on Tuesday. 120 cyclists from some top

teams were taking part.

It was the final stage of 7, and finished

in Dinan after heading round Cap Frehel

and other small towns and villages.

Around 1500 people watched the start.

People were arriving early.

I got roped in to help the village bar set

up an outside facility.

Then spent most of lunchtime cooking

sausages for punters.

THE WEATHER IS CHANGING

At last. Blue skies and a bit of warmth today.

It's been a long winter.

The ground has dried out at last,

so later than usual, the sowing of

seeds can start.

Great to take the dogs out

just after sunrise.

Normally out by 8am for an hour and

a bit.

Sadly, there seems to be little

wildlife about at the moment.

The local hunt seem to have taken

more than they should the past winter.

LIVE MUSIC

Had a pleasant Saturday night out with 

Jo & Dave at Jurgon les Lacs.

About 10 miles away.

Some young girl playing 60's, 70's 

folk music/Dylan style hits.

A good night out, and the cider was cheap.

STARTING A NEW CLUB

A mixture of French & English sat down to a 

3 course lunch on Saturday at the Auberge du Manoir.

A proper Beef Wellington for main course,

wine included for 30 euros.

It was decided to form the "Friends of St Potan" dining group, with the aim of having a dinner every 3 months. 

Damn fine idea.
