Back home and good news!

Well, we are back home after 5 hours drive and after crossing 8 “départements”, back with our onions and 44 kms walk!

I found my order from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the buns I ordered in August ready to plant soon. 150 bulbs!

Here are the presents for Maxime, a hat, little “Pirate” T shirt and pirate toys!

A dragon from the Celtic legends.

The Triskell is a  Celtic symbol representing the cycles  of life , childhood, adult life and old age or past , present and future. For my daughter and  honey for from Brittany’s wild flowers.

 Little biscuits which are a speciality for my son and DIL

Salted butter caramels for the kennel when I go and fetch Bandit.

Biscuits for my daughter 

Two mugs for my son and his wife

This is the hat and T Shirt for Maxime.

We enjoyed our holidays and got sun tanned with a beautiful weather. In October we will try to go back to the Netherlands for a long weekend!

( news from my son: in fact he told me that his surgery was on this coming Monday,BUT he did not want me to stress during my holidays and on Friday I had a message that he was at the clinic and he had his surgery done and he was OK! ( this is his point of view, but as I knew he will have a surgery as his mother I already stressed 😆 

(His surgery was an inguinale hernia.

They had to do it quickly but now it is done. I hope he will get better soon)

Going back home.

This is a view from the fortifications.

Hello Friends 

As you can see, cruise boats are starting again. There were some tourists, but at this time of the year, it was mostly retired people .

There are lots of small islands all around.

This is the « Promenade » out of the walls. We are three km from the fortified town, so it’s a good walk each day!

A nice hotel, the thalassotherapy of Saint Malo. My son stayed there during his honeymoon in France.

The pirate Surcouf with a seagull on his head….

It would be nice to live there sometimes!

Another fortification

And finally the sea, before we leave.

In fact, we went there, to have a rest, but also to look the houses for our retirement. We are searching the right place, not too far from our daughter , not too far from an airport for our son and not too far from a good hospital and think of old age! A new hospital is been built!

Tomorrow I will collect Mr Bandit from it’s kennel and we will plan another trip to Netherlands soon, I hope!

Here is a picture of me taken by Mr L. With my walking stick since my surgeries and lots of bonus kilos! But here I am!

On the road back home!

See you soon.
