Saint Julie
Suzanne and Michael went to St Malo for an evening meal last night and ate in the Golden Lion (Lion D'Or). Food and atmos very nice, but the talking point was the ice-cream. Both were so full of flavour that they made your mouth burst. I guess that's as good a recommendation as any. St Malo is a lovely town, esp. the old walled part.
Busy day today with the children. We went to two beaches, Pen-Guen (say penguin) at St. Cast Le Guido and then after I dropped Caroline off in Dinan for her French lessons we went on to Dinard. Both completely different beaches. Pen-Guen is a large uncommercial beach. Unspoilt and quiet. Dinard is much more commercial, we sat on the promenade and drank coffee and eat ice-cream whilst the kids played on the beach just 20 yards away. Dinard was much busier, but at least you can get chips :-)
The first week of Easter has seen our gites fully booked, but next week we only have one gite occupied. It's a shame cos the weather in Brittany has been really nice (a little cool and windy at times but pleasant enough).
All the farmers have been working overtime this week, mainly spreading muck and plouging in. I guess they are preparing for the planting season. They grow alot of maize round here.
Looking foward to a take-away from the Taj Mahal in Dinan tonight.
