Camping-Car Park at Hirel

 Sadly had to leave lovely Binic this morning, but we took the scenic route east, passing through some attractive villages and landscapes.  We stopped in the quiet little village of Pluduno by the sports centre.  No sooner had we poured the drinks, the quiet was shattered by chaps strimming and blowing!  Seems everywhere we go or stay, the powers that be want to mow or strim just where we are!  This has happened at all three of the campsites we've stayed at....

 .... then at lunch time we arrived at the spacious place for motorhomes, got as far as our piece of local honey cake, and along comes the mower!  That's him right in the centre of the picture!.  He had to mow round us and several other loungers.


 

So off we went for our afternoon stroll.  Interesting cloud formation, especially the low line of fluffy clouds - reminds us of New Zealand.  The sea was a long way off


but here is a huge area of hard sand where we watched young lads be taught how to land sail.
This old moulin is at the entrance to our home for the night.
Evening sky - wonder where all these planes were going?

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
