Back in February long before Tine's recent operation she was getting herself fit at the gym in L'Aiguillon, just down the coast from La Tranche. Being less active (!) I managed the 'big shop' at the local Super U then went for a stroll by the estuary of the River Lay.

| It's hard to forget that fateful night eight years ago when many people lost their lives in Tempête Xynthia. |
 |
| It was interesting to see the mussels boat in dry-dock. You can make out the stakes on which the shellfish are farmed. |
 |
| On the nearby roundabout you can see how the mussels attach themselves to the stakes, wrapped in spiralling rope. |
 |
| Another day, a walk through the marshes near to chez nous |
 |
| Heads or tails?! |
 |
| 'Chick chick chick chicken, lay a little egg for me' |
 |
| Tine's had a replacement hip and Sacha's had a replacement tree, sadly the original not surviving |
 |
| Number two's looking very healthy and well labelled! |
