Brittany

On our first day in Brittany William cooked us great pancakes for breakfast. We drove through Saint Malo the walled city but not much to do in the wet weather. After lunch we driving and stopped at a Jypsey fair which mostly sold junk. We bought a corkscrew which we needed because before dad had had to open the wine with a knife and how could we be in France and not have a corkscrew. For the night we stopped at another French passion goat farm. When it was time for milking about 30 people turned up to watch. We like their shed it was simple and tidy. They we different because they made very soft young cheese that we almost curd but they were very tasty and not too goaty. The next morning we had a great walk along the cliffs by the sea. We followed the tracks between the gorse and flowers to a lighthouse and back it was very windy. We had a good afternoon at the beach. We stayed at an air at Point Plerin where some of us went walking and ended up sliding and sinking to our knees in the mud at low tide. At the next air by the beach at Plouha. us kids went for a freezing swim and played with French kids on the playground. Thomas baked a delicious custard and peach pie for dessert. The next day at the beach we went for a walk and had a ice-cream from the supermarket. The girls collected shells on the beach and made necklaces.

We arrived at the next air early the next day. Mum and Dad did washing and we played on the nearby beach and the rocks surrounding the harbour. We all went to the beach in the afternoon and made pools and rock hard sand balls. We had such a good day we decided to stay another day which we spent doing washing, relaxing, reading books and playing more on the beach and in the harbour.
