See you soon!


The temperature is cold for Dubai this morning my son told me it was 11 C the coldest winter! But 23 C in the afternoon until 5!
Hello Friends!

Just a quick post to say thank you for your messages!

Today I did the last shopping for my husband, put notes for him to know how the different machines are working… weighted my luggage. Yesterday I did my online checking. Now my small air fryer is heating a croque monsieur I made myself. Then I’ll finish all I have to do before leaving for Paris Roissy airport.

Well I have better go. See you soon and thank you for your visits !

We are waiting for another storm over Brittany which is already flooded! Huge waves and strong winds  again!

I saw that in USA it will be very very cold! Stay safe and « Bon courage! »

Another day by the sea.

We had fish last night but it is Fried fish Mr L had fried fish and french fries, so I had paprika grilled shrimps and then we had a walk in the village.
This sculpture is made with a root
This is the place to eat fish direct from the fishmonger 
You order and you sit in the veranda and wait until it’s cooked.
Today, we went shopping for our friends and family before the tourists arrive for the weekend ( there are a lot of outlets close to here. Sometimes you drive in Belgium 🇧🇪 and then back to Netherlands 🇳🇱 !
 
Then we visited a tiny village, the very big church dates back to the 15 th Century.



I love this little house and would love to live there!

Look at the size of people! You have an idea how tall it is.
We went inside but they were doing the cleaning so we didn’t stay.
All in bricks. 🧱 

We went back to the hotel before going back to walk by the sea and have our lunch on the beach restaurant.
The weather is still gray, but the temperature begins to go up!
Thank you for coming ! Have a nice day.

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!

Boat trip ⛴️

This morning we left and visited this beautiful tiny church.




This is where children get baptised.
Then we had lunch by the sea and took our boat ⛴️ 

This is a small island with one house for rent 7 month a year, a holiday home. 

This is the place we were going to “ le château du taureau” this was a fortress and then a prison.


The view when you were in jail 😆 

The inside of the fortress 

On the top to watch the enemy

 Far away is the boat race that left Roscoff today.

Then I had my swimming 🏊‍♀️ time, have a rest and ho for dinner!
