2009 Summer

Well we decided to have a quiet summer in 2009 as we had both been working hard. We decided to go to Pontrieux up the Trieux river so moored up and then went to get the car from Morlaix. We had a lovely time and met some new friends while we were there. Steve & Elena were so lovely they are as mad as we are. They collect pigs and treat them as their children so there was some surprises for the locals when they passed the boats. On the day of the fete du lavoir (washing festival) we put all our soft toys in the washing machine and then put them on deck to dry. The kids thought it was great and took many pics. they left before us and went to Isle Chausy where Steve left Elena on a rock and rowed away saying that he wanted a little quiet time. He did however get her back before high tide. Two other people that we met were Colin and Silvia who were retired. Silvia does counceling and colin is a retired general from the British army. They invited us aboard one afternoon for tea and fruit cake. They explained that it was a tradition as to see who makes the best fruit cake. Sally has come up with a recipe for a good one for this year so look out Colin. After saying good buy to our new friends and old ones we decided to go to Guernsey for a couple of days before we headed back to Morlaix for the winter and so ended the summer of 2009.
