Brittany At It's Best

Monday 28th September

A lovely warm sunny morning so off to Tregastel weekly market.

We spotted our favourite veg stall with tomatoes of all shapes and colours at reasonable prices.
They also had sacks of onions - 3 kgs for 5 euros - ideal size for pickling - we will pick some up before we leave for home.

We bought Oysters, Hard cured sausage and fresh brioche bread.
Coffee at the Boulangerie.
After the market we explored a side street that had a sign for a view point and found a great beach.

We found this beach being used by locals for exercise - wading in deep water back and forth across the bay - lots of them ! - all in wet suits.
No pebbles ( Trebeurden beach is covered in pebbles) and great views.
We must have a half day there soon.

Back on board - Oysters for me and Pate + Camembert cheese for Jackie - with a glass of Sauvingnon blanc - PERFECT !!

It was very low tide again - so off to the local beach near the marina to dig up clams.

There were scores of locals digging - with better tools than we had - big buckets full.
We managed to work out a reasonable technique and came away with about a kilo of mixed size cockles and clams.

Washed and cooked - a perfect starter for dinner.

We entertained a neighbour ( Bernard ) in the marina before dinner - his English was very good.

The TV proved to be no good tonight - a very slow Internet connection - no problem.

A Great Day.

Mike and Jackie
