Julia and I had a 10-day trip to Brittany from which we returned last Sunday.  
The weather was cool, but sunny with only a couple of days of rain, sporadic 
and that.  It was a great break and refreshed our love of France and of 
Brittany in particular.

We took the ferry from Portsmouth, on the south coast, to St Malo; we stayed 
for 3 nights in hotels and 7 in a cottage followed by a last night in a hotel 
in Dinan.  I can recommend this part of the world for a visit; we had excellent 
food and wine and the scenery is delightful.  It’s called the Pink Granite 
Coast and we recognised the same granite from our holiday in Sardinia about 10 
years ago.

Here’s an example of the granite:

And another view of the same “phare”:

Another coastline, but at sunrise:

(we had andouille (chitterlings) for the first time; they’re pretty gamey . . .)

Oyster beds which looked like a D-Day fleet in the distance:

I’m happy to receive criticism etc . . .
