Weekend away (for a change)






Yes, I know we're never at home - not exactly true but once again we hit the road last Friday to go and see 'Er from Brittany who has her Mum visiting at the moment, and a wonderful time we had too!
.
The weather was very poor on Saturday and we only managed to venture to the local shops in a brief respite from the rain. Luckily on Sunday morning we awoke to a beautiful day and despite a few fluffy clouds we three youngsters (combined age 172 years) drove over to the Presqu'île de Gâvres where we had an invigorating walk along the beach. As you can see this area also has erosion worries with high sea walls for protection. On the other side of the peninsula we found a boat graveyard - it's hard to judge how long some of the wrecks had been there.
.
Back in La Tranche we managed a walk yesterday, just about avoiding the rain (again). Photos 4 & 5 were taken at the Plage des Génerelles where there seems to be some work going on to protect one of the houses at risk.
.
Finally I hope you're impressed with the individual cheese soufflés I baked last night for our meal. You see, I DO earn my keep (and the courgette soup is amazing)!
.
ps. I can't resist asking you to look closely at Photo 2 - now who is that in the background?!!
