30thSlept late after a disturbed night & woke to thick mist & fog which cleared to reveal a beautiful day. We didn't do much – just sat in the sunshine, read our books & Cathy even caught a few zzz's in the chair... 31st A chilly start to the day again & we had a late breakfast then took the bikes out down unexplored lanes & around to the beach then back up the hill home. It got brighter so we walked back down the beach & decided to have moules frites at a lean to cafe opposite run by 3 hippy types, 2 girls & a chap all jolly friendly. The meal was lovely & they used thyme as a seasoning in the moules & on the frites. This was grand at the time but ... read more

28thAnother grim morning but a pleasant afternoon so took the bikes out past the local beach, up a steep hill & we found a little path off the coastal path that led down to a very treacherous point by the sea. There were stunning caves which echoed the boom of the waves hitting the back walls – I dare say that they'll become arches over time. A couple of fishermen were on another point half a mile away, a kayak was moving slowly moving through the swell – that was life that afternoon by the sea. We had a bite to eat & carried on round the roads back to the beach, watched life go by then headed back for tea. A German van had turned up & despite having the whole site to choose from, ... read more

Ha – the pc just changed 'mer' to merangue! I digress... A short hop north to our next campsite but first we visited the hypermarket for supplies & then went south to visit Rospico where we used to take the children when they were young. It hasn't changed one bit save for a new, pretty little cottage on top of a low cliff & brought back so many memories. We had lunch on a picnic blanket near the rocks & had a paddle – the water was freezing! We'd forgotten how cold the Atlantic is especially compared to the Adriatic & the Med. Found our next campsite easily enough, then the temperature started to drop & it showered into the evening but we ate outside anyway under the awning. The forecast wasn't great so we put ... read more

It's been very mixed weather but thankfully not much rain. Either hot sunny days or just overcast. We've bumbled about doing all sorts & meeting our neighbours. Across the way is a lady from Paris who used to run a tabac / cafe with her husband who died 3 years ago. She talks for France whether you understand her or not – I helped her out with her caravan door twice as she couldn't lock it & was called 'le gentil anglais' from then on. Next to us was who we called Gruntyman – he had some form of nervous tic & he grunted to himself ALL the time & especially when he was concentrating. On the other side was a young family – 3 children with one due in October...blimey! He worked for HSBC in ... read more
