Brittany holiday

We spent ten days in Brittany for the spring holiday. The weather was gorgeous: warm and sunny but the cold water reminded us that it was not summer yet. We rented a cottage in Pommerit-Le-Vicomte, a few minutes drive from Guingamp. It is a lovely place, in the countryside, quiet without being too remote.

We wanted to go in ordre to keep in touch with the place and the people before they forget about us. We had not told anyone appart from some former neighbours who were going on holidays. But we managed to see them before they left.

It was good to be there. We visited some people, and each time we went out, we bumped into people we knew. I went to the football with the boys. Guingamp was playing Evian Thonon Gaillard which is our local premier league team. Strange: we drove 1000 km in order to see Guingamp meet a team that plays 40 minutes down the road from us.

We also went all the way to Quimper in order to visit a couple from the Quimper church. If you get our newsletter you may remember that the church in Quimper folded up at the beginning of November. It was sad and we wanted to see how these folks were coping.

We had a happy time. It was restful as well. It was a proper holiday at last. We’ve been back for a few days now and the children are going back to school tomorrow.
