I'm sure my continued stories of the demolition of the jetty is boring some people, but here's a last look at what is left! For those of you who know La Tranche, l'embarcadère is an iconic symbol (did I really say that?!).
Photo 1 was taken on a very foggy 23rd January where you can just make out the remains of the end of the jetty, where the Inter-Iles ferry used to pick up/drop off passengers. Next day the fog lifted and Photo 2 is taken from beyond the jetty looking back to the mainland. Under our feet was sticky clay, rather than sand - took a bit of cleaning afterwards! Photo 3 was taken on 27th January and you can clearly see the three 'pipes' which will remain for the new jetty. The weather was really gorgeous that day as you can see.

Next you can see that they have been hard at work at the Poste de Secours. You can't believe the accuracy and delicacy of the men controlling these monsters. They have now covered these boulders with cement and I will check tomorrow where they're up to!

Finally for today a photo taken on 25th January to show that we ate outside at lunchtime. Zoom in on Photo 4 and look at the date in the TV Guide (also note how far we're getting on with the garden!!)

Sorry for missing yet another few days in the blog. Yes, we've been galavanting again - back to Brittany, but more next time...

About blimmin time, some of us don't have our own lives and are hanging around waiting for the excitment of yours! Speak to you soon I hope, roll on three more days. Big big bisous xxx
Salut. Keep going with the saga. There are people who are interested. The old jetty was part of their childhood! Is the new embarcadere due to be finished by summer?
As for the last pic - the word 'jammy' comes to mind!!!
LCA.
