Return to Angleterre!!!

Hello bloggers
It a long time since I have posted as I’ve been on holiday to France :)
I have now returned from my holiday  where we had plenty of sun, travel, lovely food and lots of culture.
We started of in Southern Brittany at Chateau du Duffey not far from St Nazaire where we stayed for 9 nights.  We then moved up to a site beside the River Selune at Pontabault for 2 nights.  Where we had a fantastic day at Mont St Michel.  Joe and I  climbed to the top.  The books we had read said that the walk to the top was very arduous but it was fine and the views from the top where superb.   During our visit we had to stop at a couple of cafe’s for refreshment.   Tracey thinks Joe and I visit cafe/bars for a drink every day :) Not true every other day!!!  lol  I further developed a real liking for Normandy and Brittany French cider whilst away and loved drinking it from a traditional ‘boulee’ –  a ceramic bowl and  a really cool way to drink cider.  We also drive the coastal route around Mont St Michel bay and the views were breath taking.

Above are some picture taken on Mont St Michel -  looking down from the top was really ‘scarry’ :)
