Phil's photos of Boxing Day

Happy New Year to all my readers!

The day after Christmas was one of those glorious blue sky days so we took ourselves off with a wonderful picnic prepared by Tine.

On the way we had to stop and witness Jesus walking on water just outside Saint-Hilaire-la-Forêt

and on La Plage de la Mine this tiny snail had been very busy.

A refreshing glass of rosé for apéritif

and crackers with party hats.

The food wasn't bad either!

Phil captures the splash of a large pebble thrown by Simon.

The family unsuccessfully try to find the geocache hidden in the area using our Christmas hand-held gps - we'll try harder next time!

Finally some very artistic photos taken by Phil on our return to La Tranche. The end of a perfect day.

Can you spot the star, the moon and the Phare de Balleine at the end of the Ile de Ré?
