So Dave did the tea (ham steaks marinated in chorizo, mustard, lemon juice & herbs.  buttered new potatoes, salad & bread).  Very nice but a bit heavy on the mustard (he used 3/4 of a jar !!!)

Then we watched the sun go down (Paulie & Mick – remember the lighthouse on this site – you can just about make it out here)…

And – like true Brits – as it got chilly, we layered up (with my new furry fleece I bought yesterday and a blanket…)

Dave was dead hard and wouldn’t accept a blanket – just his Swiss fleece – he said that passers-by would think (with me all wrapped up) that he was taking his mum on holiday !!!! Cheek !!! Xxx

Lazy morning then trundled off on The Duke to see the delights of Northern Brittany.

Lots of pretty beaches (and not much else to be honest…).  Here we are sporting our new helmets that Dave bought to fit in the top box…

And a lovely viewing point…

And Saint -Cava – which Dave insisted we visit but was most disappointed at the lack of free cava when we got there 😂 Xxx

So I said I’d make Spanish omelette for tea (Maria – you’d have been proud of me – there were lots of leftovers and we just bought bread, chorizo and beans (but they weren’t REAL beans – the dirty French B’s) )  – anyway it was DELICIOUS – piccie below…  Also look at the pretty red and white lights that he decorated the front of The Van with…

AND whilst I was chopping the peppers, onions, chorizo & cheese, I said to My Dave to put a romantic message on our NEW (smaller A5) light box that we bought on the ferry ⛴ here – look what he put – well at least it’s got an emoticon !!! Xxx

We THEN arrived at the same campsite (not SO much of a surprise as Dave entered the postcode of the site as we left the OTHER campsite !!!) as they came to in May.

It’s cute, has a really nice feel and is RIGHT on the beach…

It was supposed to hoik it down all day today so bonus that it was just cloudy…

More soon xxx

So today – as I said earlier – we stopped at McDonalds and as we pulled in, Dave was like “Can’t BELIEVE it – we (Mick, Dave & Paul on the bikes back in May) stopped at the EXACT same spot and Mick had a wee at the bus-stop !!!”

What are the chances and what are they like ??? Xxx

So Dave was twittering last night that his phone had no service – I was initially OK but then also accepted a stupid auto-update and since this morning I am also without service.  So unable to make voice calls, use Google or ANYTHING 😞 !!!

Left Vannes – in The Van – at midday – and am now stopped en-route at a McDonalds – and they have wifi – yey !!!  Hence the update while Dave has gone from position 24 to position 7 in the queue for an online chat to “some muppet in India” who represents the Three mobile network…

He chatted to them last night and they said they were having issues – no kidding…

Anyway – the McDonalds we are in is like Argos – you go to one of the touch-screen stations to select your meal, pay and then they bring it over to you (but Dave didn’t trust them so we stood and waited at the till !!!)

Unfortunately McDonalds is no better in France than at home – poor service, rubbish outside and lukewarm food…

Ah well…

Three are saying (as they did last night) that it’s a 24 hour fix – yeah right – I won’t hold my breath… And Dave says the next campsite where we’re going had no wifi !!!

Ttfn xxx

So we were ALSO on the way back from the little drinkie – and we saw the TINIEST little kitten – 15 days old – the lovely lady we talked to (and was holding her) had found her in a bag and has now adopted her and named her Jade – awwww ❤️ Xxx

So we were on the way BACK from us little drinkie and came upon – how civilised – a FREE Poo Bag station !!!

1. So after paying the bill and buying the round towel (!) we had a little walk and had a couple of drinkies overlooking the boats (thinking of you Paulie !!!) xxx

So we were on holiday LAST year in Corsica and then again THIS year and we KEEP seeing these (what looked like) triangular/cone-shaped towels for sale.  Being northern I thought they tea cosies (but the foreigners are crap and don’t drink tea so I thought this was why there was no holes for the handle and spout !!! 😂)

ANYWAY we were in Reception today paying the bill and I asked what they were for and they are circular towels (with a hook in the centre to hang them up) so we got one for the downstairs loo in The Van (not sure where the upstairs loo is !!!)

They clearly also double-up as a sun hat if you’re feeling unsociable !!!
