Spring days



Just got in from a short bicycle ride to look at the high tide. Still quite a few people around despite a change in the weather. 2/3 of French kids are on holiday this week and it's good to seem them riding round on their bikes, etc. Yes, I think we've said goodbye to lunches outside for the time being...

The first photo was taken last Sunday while it was still quite warm. As you can the main road up to the pavillon was busy, many shops, bars, ice cream parlours doing a good trade so early in the year. Friends of Matt are doing up one of the shops as a Pub to open around Easter. I'll keep you posted!

The other two photos show part of the garden in front of the house. In Photo 2 you can see we have been influenced by the wonderful local roundabouts and sides of roads where different grasses have been used. Photo 3 is really not our land but we think it looks welcoming to neighbours and visitors.
