Update

We've managed a couple of afternoons this week relaxing on loungers with our books (then doing a bit of garden tidying) as the weather has belatedly decided to become more spring-like! Here's evidence of our first lunch outside this year on 2nd March.

Tidying up is also taking place in La Tranche as the camp sites, shops, cafés and restaurants prepare for the fast approaching season. Storm damage is also being repaired. Photos 2 and 3 show the breach in the dune that flooded the sailing lake the other weekend (taken on 3rd March), and photo 6 (15th March) shows how the breach has now been blocked as very high tides are expected again at the end of the month.

The surfers'/sailors' car park by the jetty is still in a state of disrepair (photo 4) as is the jetty, and we have a very interesting sand bank forming on the Plage des Génerelles (photo 5).
