More pix from Brittany

Brittany summer

Another fine summer in Brittany. We've been here since early July and have just over one more week left. At the moment, on our own before Alan's folks arrive on Friday but we've been quite busy with lots of old friends visiting from near and far
(Australian cousins Francis, Adam, Jackson and Alice; my daddah, stepmother, stepbrother JW and my boys Archie & Alastair;


Rob & Yang La, Simon and Julia from Beijing, the boys' first ever au pair, Fadela, and her husband Dimitri and six year Ilyias, Ken, Caroline and our 'god-daughter' Sarah from Ayr, and an unexpected guest (Kaarina) from Vienna (a psychoanalyst friend of Caroline's); and Liz and Barry from Ilkely Moor.

Activies have included walking, going to numerous firework displays and local communal scoff (Fest Noz), mini golf, swimming, horseriding, serious eating, star-gazing, walking and cycling, table tennis, boule etc etc. It's been fab and added to the happy 'memory bank' that is La Ville Cario.

As usual, Alan's been busying himself with garden projects and has built a rather Heath Robinson structure to house his growing log stack. We have new neighbours in the house next door - a very nice couple from Paris, Thierry and Catherine and their two kids, Nathan (6) and Clarisse (11). Alan taught little Sarah to ride a bicycle without stabilisers and she successfully managed to cycle all the way to the Auberge with him where we took her for lunch to celebrate!
