Costumes 
 

Hello Friends!

Today will be a visit  to Brittany. A fortress in the middle of the sea!

Sunset

Artichokes the speciality with cauliflower 

Beautiful churches!

Old house

Coiffes special hats that goes with costumes 

Hope you enjoyed the visit!

Market day.

This morning we went to Saint Pol de Leon’s big market. We bought sweet pink Roscoff  onions 🧅 

Most of the goods are organic. In Brittany they grow strawberries, cabbage, artichoke, cauliflower. And they make butter

Honey, cider and buckwheat ( galettes…)

In fact a lot of vegetables.

These are  different ciders and apple juice.

 Then we left the market and visited the Cathedral.

( sorry blogger put the pictures of the costume museum in between)

Traditional hats

I love that one, so beautiful!

This is not embroidery but knots like they use to do fishing nets.

“Musée du filet brodé”

These little statues are representing the 7 saints 

who brought Christianism in the 7 Century

They came from England ( Winchester)

These are the banners for the prosession.

Then we left and came back to Roscoff where I have an appointment for a body care and then we booked at the “Crêperie” for our dinner tonight.

I am now reading”Country Living” , Roscoff being a Ferry boat harbour going to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 

I could find an English magazine!

Big ice cubes 🧊

Today, like most of July days, it is raining 🌧️.

But we don’t have to complain when most of the Mediterranean countries are in fire because of very high temperatures.

This morning it is 17 C and raining.

This weekend we decided that we needed a break and have some rest in Brittany.

We will soon go to Roscoff a place we like to go, the town is beautiful. We will stay by the sea in the thalassotherapy in the old town.

This town is the town of the “Johnnies »

These are men from Roscoff going to England with their bycicles to seem the onions 🧅 they grew in Roscoff. I love Roscoff onions which are very sweet!

Here is the province of « Leon » where you can see fields of cauliflowers and artichokes.

There is a «  Johnnies » museum I hope is open this time.

 This is not me! 😆 but I like this place on to of a rock in front of the sea!

In front of Roscoff is the beautiful Batz island, with a big exotic garden. There is also one in Roscoff as they have no frost because of the Gulf Stream.

Bandit will go to the kennel. We had to take him to the vet on Saturday, he had big stomach problems, but feels better with an injection and some medication.

We are not feeling too well in this house! 😆 at the moment!

With the strong air of Brittany and eating sea weeds we should recover!

I received a picture and a video from my son in Greenland.

I wish you a good new week!
