Renovation Project - Traditional Breton Music and costumes
We have had a lovely couple of
days, it is so nice waking up to my baby granddaughter and she is getting to
know me more and more every day.
I have the fun of getting her up
in the morning and giving her her breakfast and playing with her while my
daughter gets the chance to have a lie in, this is what I have been missing.
We have been out on a couple of
trips and I got the chance to see the baby’s reaction to the sea and standing
on the sand, it is so funny, you can see how mesmerised she is by the ocean; I
even managed to drop her lovely new sun hat in the water!
We have visited Morlaix and sat at
a pavement cafe with espresso’s and croissants, the baby happily watching the
world go by.
We have been to Carantac and had
the world’s most disgusting drink of hot chocolate, it was a white chocolate
and it honestly tasted like melted milky bars, it was the most sickly thing I
have ever tasted, John had the worst coffee and my daughter had a bottle of
cola (not the well known brand) and that was as bad as the other drinks, but
the cafe was fabulous, wonderful views (just a pity the drinks were
extortionately priced and undrinkable!)
We have also spent a day in Brest
which is a big city by the coast, whilst we were there, there was an event on
with a number of groups playing Celtic music and dressed in traditional Breton outfits,
the weather was amazing and we sat (yes you guessed it at another pavement
cafe, well we are in France!) the sun was shining and the day was great.
We have
been to Brest before and though it is a big city for Brittany we thought it
consisted of one road down to the harbour, today though my daughter wanted to
visit the clothes shop Zara, we assumed there wasn’t one, but she kept seeing
people with carrier bags, I finally asked a young woman where the shop is and I
manage to translate some of the directions, we head off and can’t believe how
big the city actually is, the road stretches as far as you can see.
We can’t believe we have never
seen any of this before!
It has been a wonderful day and we
head home, still keeping fingers crossed that the car will get us all the way
home!
