AUTUMN ON THE ROCKS

Cool weather, the odd drop of rain, but a very pleasant fortnight in Perros, with Maryse joining us last week-end (she took this photo). More restaurants tested, more films viewed, and walks along the coast ...

IN FAR WEST BRITTANY

During our family holiday week in Morgat, Finistère, we had a few walks with the children. Here they are, all seven of them !

Joshua, Ronan, India, Zoé, William, Gwendal and Gael.
We visited the peninsula fom one end to the other, and Brest with the tall boats exhibition "Tonnerres de Brest", and Concarneau or more precisely the fortified town in the harbour.

NORFOLK IN MAY ...

 As usual, we spent a few weeks in England last May, and I enjoyed our little trips to the Broads or the seaside near Cromer or Sheringham, with Susan and Jo, or Richard. We also managed to book a holiday house for a week in 2013 on the coast, right on the cliff top ! We ended up in Oxfordshire, at Witney, enjoying a few days with Elaine and Ted.

SPRINGTIME IN PERROS

It can't be compared with the Summer, but we always manage some sunshine everyday. It may not last or come in short spells. No long stays sitting on the beach, but games with the grand-children, playing ball, flying kites, or building sandcastles.

COLMAR IN DECEMBER

An evening in Colmar, walking through one of the various Christmas markets along the river. We had come with Maryse from Belfort, and had a chance to capture the atmosphere of the place, with its decorations, crowded streets, tasty specialities, craft exhibitions, and cheerful cafés ...

AUTUMN IN TRESTRAOU

There's nothing like a week in Perros to store energy for the winter months to come ! We were pleased to have visitors like Pat and Steph and their boys. And the weather was up to our expectations.

THE FOREST

I love driving through the Compiègne forest in the Autumn, and, better, walking about there with the children. This is what we did this week, with Zoé, India, Joshua and William. They jumped on the fallen trunks of freshly cut trees. And we admired the colours of the leaves.
