Tinteniac, 28th August

 We visited France's Book town expecting more than there was,  maybe 7 shops selling books, but I think like Hay on Wye in England they have literary festivals here.  I did buy 2 books but both english thrillers. It chucked it down with rain so we had to shelter in the church, they have been handy for sanctuary the last two days .
view from the book town, first hill we've been on in ages. Normandy beaches way over there.

Old well still has a wooden winder

Then we bought a french gas bottle and fittings in anticipation of the Uk one running out.

Headed off to our stop in Tinteniac where P tried the Bottle and found it was too high to put the regulator on the top.......  so I found another caravan place near here and off we went . 

(We use microsoft translate for our conversation and it is very good, you can also take a photo of a set of instructions and it will translate the the whole page instantly.)

 An old man pottered out and unscrewed a safety cover off the top of the gas bottle and the regulator fitted easily.. oh how we laughed, the man must think we a silly foreigners can't even work a gas bottle.

 Back to camp and P installed an oven in place of the microwave, we heated quiche and apple pie, worked a treat.

                                                                                              
a rather upright duck came to visit us tonight, we are on the banks of a canal.

the plants all doing well, a basil has been added to the collection

a rather complicated roof on the local church


not sure where the cat , wheel and pot fit in the bible

  1. Heaps of cats in the bible (hiding in the straw under the manger, licking the pillar of salt, playing with strangely posing ducks...)
