Humbug Car

Well stayed on site today – lay-in, light breky then a swim in the pool followed by a shower.  Got ready, dried my hair and re-did my toes all at leisure – bliss !!!

Nice lunch at The Van, had a sunbathe and a snooze then went to pay the bill here (as moving on tomorrow) and outside reception there was a cute car – which Dave made me stand by and have a piccie – looks like a humbug sweetie to me !!!

Arvor Festival

So came back after the beach and had BBQ salmon, chicken AND sausages  (I know, I know…) followed by an apple doughnut (which I didn’t want to buy but Dave insisted and it wasn’t even very nice !!!) – then trundled back out on The Duke to town about 8:30pm for the festivities…

Firstly saw a street artist juggling and playing with fire 🔥 – then wandered on up to Le Jardin des Remparts where there was a show going on with everyone dressed up in Breton costume and doing dancing to bagpipe music !!!

We then joined the crowds lining the streets for the parade – which was basically more of the same but up close.  The music had a medieval / Celtic feel – and I found myself clapping along !!!

Dave took videos but they are too big to import into here so (because he’s clever !!!) he has uploaded them to You Tube.  The first one is only short and gives you a flavour of the music and the second one shows the dancing 💃 more…

THEN Bob and Betty next door at the campsite who told us about the festival (don’t know their real names) SAID that the fireworks 💥 were at midnight and it was about 11:15pm and we’d had enough so came back.  THEN we arrived back on the drive about 11:25pm and the bleeding fireworks started – for about 15 minutes…  Couldn’t see them – only hear them – bet they were good… 😔

Well that’s Bob and Betty off OUR Christmas 🎄 List 😂 Xxx

At The Beach 🌊

Well after another late start (stayed up listening to the band the night before and even had a little dance – all outside The Van !!!) and breky under the canopy – we set off on The Duke.

About 40 (breezy) minutes later, arrived at Arzon.  Had a walk on the beach and a little sunbathe – lots of sailing ⛵️ stuff going on for Dave to watch – see below…

The Mozzies !!!

So Dave got fed upon on Saturday night by the mozzies (he says that because he’s on Warfarin that he’s easier to suck from !!!)  ANYWAY – he said we should get some citronella garden candles from the supermarket but they didn’t have any – do he bought vanilla tea lights (against my advice – I hate vanilla) then said they needed to “smoke” and that would keep the mozzies away – so to make them “smoke” – he had poured cooking oil and dried mixed herbs !!! (See below).

Hasn’t worked – has been bitten again… xxx

Jardin des Remparts

It was hazy but hot today and we had a lie-in then late breky outside before a quick blast to town in The Duke then a little walk around the pretty gardens, the shops followed by a fab raspberry & custard tartlet !  Back at The Van now having crisps, dips & a Desparado – then BBQ 🍗 chicken for tea !!! (Will be 44 stone on my return)

Also The Arvor Festival is on for the next couple of days (want to see the fireworks in town tomorrow night – and everyone dresses up like The Handmaid’s Tale (!) and does dancing – maybe that’s why we’ve have just heard a band practicing on site here – so we may wander up to the Club House later – but we can hear them from here anyway !!!
