Spent the afternoon at Rochebonne plage, Parame, near St Malo playing on the rocks and watching the sand yachts racing up and down the beach. A slighty bizzare discovery was an English Fish and Chip shop on the sea front ! We decided to give it a miss and come home for roast beef and yorkshire pudding.

Chimney sweep
Swept both the chimneys this morning. We have just about run out of scrap softwood (door frames, old wooden step ladders, pallets, general waste offcuts etc) and are about to start using our stockpile of oak and ash logs. The softwood leaves quite a residue on the chimney liners and a sweep helps prevent any possible chimney fire and ensures the fires burn better. Once swept, the chimney has a draw on it strong enough to suck off your slippers. | 2:14:02 PM Chimney sweep
