Back from France

We've just returned from a wonderful holiday in France.  We stayed in a cottage bordering on precious, protected sand dunes followed by huge stretches of beautiful beaches.  The French seaside village we stayed in was tranquil and sleepy and very French - not a tourist spot - so it was perfect to enjoy the French people, culture, language and beautiful landscape.  Steeped in history too. What a magnificent time we had!

Happy explorers.

Incredible rock pools full of treasures.

Getting to know crabs.

The markets.  Oh to stroll through these was wonderful.  The chatter, the smells, the music, the food, the food, the food...
