Sunday 1st July

St. Jacut-de-la-Mer since you ask. A bit west of St. Malo and it is a finger sticking out into a large estuary. Rain and thunder had been forecast and duly arrived – angry skies and a couple of torrential downpours first thing.

However, everything brightened up so a short drive to the next peninsula, Cap Fréhel. Beautiful coastal walks – a bit like Gower but sunny!

This is Fort Latte – probably not pronounced as in the coffee but we never found out.

Back for hanging around the house, taking in the sun and the views. Had intended to get groceries, but it’s France and it’s Sunday so absolutely nothing doing.

What we do like, though, is double summer time. After dinner, went for a swim. It was about 9.30 – sunset is just after 10.00 which is fabulous.

And finally am thinking about a second career once I’m retired. Was thinking of an Instagram style icon, fashion trend-setting sensation. Folks – you saw it start right here!
