...but not today! We've had torrential rain and very high winds all day - quite impressive from our lovely snug home, catching up on DVDs etc. At least we know our house is weather-proof!

On Sunday we were invited to Jean-Pierre & Catherine's for lunch, and as usual we had a great time, with Julie, Romain and partners there too. JP said I should do a post about the sun making an appearance each day in La Tranche. Yesterday was a prime example. We got up to the darkest skies possible and before long the heavens opened with thunder, lightning and hailstones to follow. By the afternoon it was a beautiful day and photos 2 and 3 show.
Today was a different story and I can categorically say that the sun does NOT shine every day (but it does very often!!)
Look carefully at the photos: photo 1 was taken on 11th December 2007. Just over a month later look at the devastation under the Poste de Secours. The seas have been really threatening again. Listening to a local man yesterday he said the sands would be back, but there's a lot to replace. Will keep you posted...

ps I wanted to upload a video of the demolition men at work but it wouldn't upload (wrong format, I presume) - apologies

Bring back the sand in time for the summer. It all puts me in mind of a novel by the 'Chocolat' author. And how will the new jetty affect things? Les gars were dead jealous to see the surfers.
La corresp. anglaise.
Merci Dave de ce blog, surtout continue, tu fais mieux que le Ouest France, je me tiens au courant de la vie locale de la commune et je découvre certains endroits, le poste de secours va bientôt devenir le poste à secourir...
Quant à l'embracadère, incroyable !!!
Bisous
