French windows

Friday 4 September 2015

So here we are, after far too long a time, back in the idyllic little corner of Brittany that is Pénestin

bikes at the ready

 Beaches with (real!) golden cliffs

 lunches under the grapevine

. . . after which, on this our first day, we ventured along the coast to Pointe de Pen Bé

 with it's famous mussel beds
 lovely houses

and the odd prospector digging for palourdes

but sadly no luck today - and the tide was encroaching fast

 so it was a quick shimmy to port de Tréhiguier 

 and the lovely Brigittes's to buy her amazing mussels

 Then back to cook our wares, under the watchful eye of friend Beau

 dinner was soon served

and totally yummy it was too

 bon appetit

and after that, it was all bets on for a game of poker

the holiday well and truly starts here . . .

And if you want to read on to the next day of our adventures in France and Northern Spain, then click here for Saturday ...
