New Year 2011

From December 2011
Enjoying a few quiet days here. Weather not great but managed to get a few pics with our new camera. Have tried out Carbus today and took the bus from Semussac to Royan. We had a beautiful lunch in 'Les Filets Bleus' a small restaurant off of the main street - what a find. Lovely bus driver dropped us off at the semussac roundabout to save us a walk on the way home. Much appreciated after two good bottles of wine and a cognac!!

Atlantic Sky

It has been a truly atlantic sky day today with dark rain clouds, hot sun & blue skies all in the same view. We went to the Cote sauvage which is not sheltered like the gironde estuary and the waves pound you to the shore. We had a picnic in the pine woods that skirt the coast (planted by the government to stabalise the dunes) before heading to the beach for body surfing, wave jumping and body boarding. Girls are now playing French monolopy and the dispute is breaking out over Musée d'Orsay, Gare St Lazare and Beaubourg!!
