One of our regular destinations is Port Bourgenay but it's been quite a while since we've visited and who couldn't resist the chance of lunch out, treated by 'er indoors!
 |
| Being Shrove Tuesday (well, in the UK anyway) guess what I had: a wonderful galette Espagnole. Tine had the more traditional crêpe beurre sucre for pud. |
 |
| And this was the view from the restaurant. We were even too hot behind the heavy polythene windows! |
 |
| Just imagine how much tax avoidance there is here! |
 |
| We love the walk along the low cliffs... |
 |
| ...sometimes under low trees... |
 |
| ...and opening out onto pebble beaches. This is the fossil one, Mr Schwaller, if you're reading this! |
 |
| Shame we couldn't carry this tree stump back with us. We've used plenty of logs this winter. |
 |
| The sea has been eating into this coastline too, as shown by a very visible root system |
 |
| The wind shapes the trees... |
 |
| ...but the gorse is out to cheer us on our way... |
 |
| ...to the end of our walk with the outskirts of Les Sables just coming into view. |

People observing Shrove Tuesday make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent... (wikipedia). Ils ne disent rien sur la consommation de galette espagnole !
Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) est le jour avant Lent (Le carême), 'une période de jeûne et d'abstinence de quarante jours que le christianisme a institué au ive siècle en référence aux quarante jours de jeûne de Jésus-Christ dans le désert.' Wikipedia.
En Angleterre la tradition est qu'on finit tous les restes avant de jeûner. Alors on fait des crêpes ce jour là.
Et c'était bien bon!!
Finalement, c'est comme Mardi Gras, sans déguisement...
