Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby - It's that time of year again when we fall over the pile of mail on the door mat when we come home. Another stack of Christmas cards, often from people that we haven't had any contact with since swapping Christmas cards last year.
This year I've noticed one supermarket has been printing on the back of their cards that they expect to give up to £700,000 to various charities, but as they pat themselves on the back they neglect to tell us how many millions of pounds they expect to be making from selling Christmas cards, decorations, crackers and everything thing else seasonal.
Down by the sea - I did catch a few glimpses of it and did pass under it twice, but being away from the sea for any length of time, even a few days makes me miss it. So this morning I walked down to Dumpton Gap to watch and smell the sea.
Farewell, so long and goodbye - We said goodbye to Le Vaublanc and Brittany this morning and headed back to England via the Channel Tunnel. This was the view as we left the house where we were staying, you can just see the mist coming in from the forest.
We got no pane in this old window - The part of Brittany where we are staying is full of the most fantastic, rundown buildings that are crying out to be refurbished. This one is in the hamlet of Saint-Sauveur Le Haut.
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole - We went into Loudéac today and I found this building. To start with I only saw the side view of it up a side street, but I found the entrance to the courtyard through a archway. It reminded me of the buildings in the Elvis movie King Creole which was set in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married - The little chapel in the hamlet of Le Vaublanc near Plémet in Brittany, France.
It's called a dog's life - We spent hour after hour today sitting in a car travelling from Kent down to Brittany. On one of the few breaks that we took I spotted this little dog in the front of a very big lorry.
