never pass a pisser, never trust a fart, never waste a stiffy.
So we packed up at the previous campsite ⛺️ on Saturday at midday then headed east to make our way over to where we are now – just outside a place called Bicnic !!!
We took the coast road for some of the journey and when we were ready for us dinner (up North you have breakfast, dinner and tea !!!) – we stopped in St Julien and it was idyllic – here we are after dinner having us cup of tea !!! Xxx
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 !!!
