Perros market

Friday 16th of October.

Jackie still in some pain this morning but managing OK.

It was cooler this morning - an opportunity to light the coal stove - YIPPEE !!!
It got going easily and the saloon was lovely and warm when Jackie got up.

We checked the web and found a market that we have not been to yet - Perros Guirec.
Off we went but walking around the centre of town - no sign of it - must be at the marina.
No sign of it there either - back into town - I had a glimps of a barrier earlier and we walked to that area and found - the smallest market - eight stalls !!!

We bought mussels and a sack of onions ( 3kgs) in 5 minutes!

Driving back we fancied coffee so - off to Plumanache - our favourite restaurant on the beach.
We had a great coffee and then I suggested we have a really nice lunch - GREAT !!

We had to wait until 12.00 to order - no rush - this was going to take all afternoon.!

We had a bottle of Muscadet - Jackie ordered fish and chips - I ordered a mixture of seafood.

We were not disappointed - the fish and chips was fantastic - three big pieces of lightly battered fish cooked to perfection - just the job.

My meal was amazing - oysters, whelks, clams, winkles, big prawns, langoustines topped off with a whole crab.
On the side - mayonnaise and brown bread - perfect.

It took me an hour or more to devour every bit of it - wonderful.

Jackie finished off with Far Bretton with cream.

As we finished we heard English voices - two guys just leaving - Jackie asked if they had enjoyed their meal and we struck up conversation.

To cut a long story short - we invited them for a drink on Blazer.

I waited for them in the car park at the marina and they arrived in a beautiful yellow classic E type Jag.

Introductions - Derek Clark and Stafford.

They were on a Brittany ferries deal - Plymouth / Rosscoff + two nights hotel for £120 each.!!

We had a great chat + G&T's lovely in the afternoon sunshine.

The sky clouded over in the evening and it turned cooler - so I stoked up the fire - it was still burning from this morning and we had a cosy night watching Strictly - good reception this time- great.

Mike and Jackie.
