Subject: [OM] Brittany holidays
Julia and I had a 10-day trip to Brittany from which we returned last Sunday.
The weather was cool, but sunny with only a couple of days of rain, sporadic
and that. It was a great break and refreshed our love of France and of
Brittany in particular.
We took the ferry from Portsmouth, on the south coast, to St Malo; we stayed
for 3 nights in hotels and 7 in a cottage followed by a last night in a hotel
in Dinan. I can recommend this part of the world for a visit; we had excellent
food and wine and the scenery is delightful. It�s called the Pink Granite
Coast and we recognised the same granite from our holiday in Sardinia about 10
years ago.
Here�s an example of the granite:

And another view of the same �phare�:

Another coastline, but at sunrise:

(we had andouille (chitterlings) for the first time; they�re pretty gamey . . .)
Oyster beds which looked like a D-Day fleet in the distance:

I�m happy to receive criticism etc . . .
