Gill comes to France!

Thursday was Nadine's birthday so we drove up to Port Navalo in the Morbihan area of Brittany as our good OLD friend Gill has sold up in England and is now searching for a property in Morbihan. Sadly the weather was not very kind to us and above you have a rainy view from the appartment that Gill and her Mum are renting for a couple of months.

The second photo is an inside shot of the appartment showing Nadine cutting her birthday cake. When we arrived some of the appartment felt cold but with Tine's magic touch it felt super-snug next day! Even in the wet, misty weather we couldn't fail to be impressed with the area and we can't wait to go and visit again!

We didn't do much sight-seeing with Nadine as the weather was so disappointing. On Sunday we took her to La Rochelle airport via the Aquarium which I can wholeheartedly recommend. All the tanks are superbly displayed and you seem to get really near to their occupants!

Nadine arrived back home very late in the night - hope she managed her training day today! Typically the weather cheered up today and this afternoon we cycled up the coast a little way and sat in the warm sunshine. I've probably posted photos like Number 3 before but I love the dunes with the sea in the background, and the contrasting colours (in January!)

On our way back we spied this tractor in the distance so went to investigate. Yes, they are finally getting ready for the demolition of the jetty, and here's the proof! If you look carefully you can see a surfer waiting for a wave to the left of the jetty: the waves were pretty big today.
