Commune de Binic-Etables-sur-Mer and Binic

 Saturday 1st June

 After shopping and a lazy lunchtime, we decided to take the footpath that took us up above the rocky cliff, following part of the coast path for a while.  Although there were several view points, the trees and bushes were in the way!


Eventually we reached the tiny village above our campsite - obviously where the rich live, as the houses are beautiful.  This was my favourite.

That's not an animal on this one's lawn,
it's a robot lawnmower!
Then we came to a picnic spot

 

and that did have a bit more of a view


And yet another house with a lovely garden.

But home again for dinner in our garden!

Sunday 2nd June

The campsite has been busier than usual over the weekend, so we left having a dip in the covered pool till this morning when a lot of families had left.  That was quite refreshing, as was zooming our home church service.  Good to be there as well as here!  Then came lunch and more lazing in the sunshine, but for a bit of activity we thought we'd walk down into town for an afternoon crepe.  Wow, what a difference Sunday afternoon makes - all the world was here on the prom, a few on the beach, and umpteen in the cafes.  Even the big wheel was working today.  Still quite windy, so we just watched.


This time we walked out beyond the harbour, to the left of this picture

to the next beach around the corner.  By clicking this picture, you may spot a young lady in the water - she was rather an exhibitionist, and I'm afraid we couldn't help watching ....

Then on around to the third beach.  Isn't this a beautiful place to be?!


Then it was time for our sweet crepes - the cafe on the corner.
Leaving Binic tomorrow and starting our slow journey back east.

Auberge Val du Cesne, Croix-Mare, Normandie

 Sunday 19th May 2024  Today we travelled to Tenterden (our home town before Horsham) to attend the closing service of the Methodist Church we attended for 15 years.  A shame it is having to close but it has seen a lot of life and that was celebrated.  After the tea we showed Natalie the secret garden behind the building that was the library in our day.  A memorial garden and a very peaceful spot. Then on to Canterbury to the Park & Ride for the night.  Spent a lovely evening catching up with (very old!) friends from Bridge.  In fact Ann and Barry were our first real friends when we moved to Canterbury as newlyweds!   Monday 20th May Dover - Calais ferry this morning, then driving south into Normany.  First stop is at a France Passion.  the nearest town is Yvetot, but we are in the heart of the countryside in the grounds of a beautiful Auberge.  As it's been a lovely sunny evening we cooked our own dinner, enjoying the view and our close neighbours - the donkeys.  We could have

Camping-Car Park at Conde sur Vire, Normandie

Image
 What a grey day!  There was quite a lot of rain in the night at the Auberge, but dry this morning to set off again.  Did a lot of shopping at LeClerc on the outskirts of Yvetot, then motorway to the Pont de Normandie, which wasn't looking its best. So today we've come to the small town of Conde sur Vire.  Although it was dull and drizzly we still had a walk around the town this afternoon, finding our first geocache of the holiday beside the church! The building in the middle of this picture is the disused railway station and our van is to the left of it.  The area around the station is now a park, but a single track is still there, with velorail and pedarail contraptions, which we assume can be hired for a ride in high summer. We thought we'd continue our walk by following a path to the river Vire - passing this tree smothered with mistletoe when we got there, but some road repairs were going on over the bridge so we had to turn back!  Hoping for the sunshine back tomorrow
