OK. Back in East Cowes again.  Last visit here was to vote in the Referendum- what exciting results!  Yet again I have a memory stick inserted in the computer, so let's see whether I can get any photos out of it about our trip.  Still no painting - well I lie.  I've done just one, and that was after our trip to Normandy.

First stop was Deauville.  Look - it's twinned with Cowes! How about that.  We also checked out the railway station that was in the Agatha Christie film.

 

 

 

Casino in Deauville -also used in films!

Next place was Honfleur where we stayed a couple of nights (and not just because it was cheap).  Lots of boats and lots of locks to check out. Very nice.

Next stop Etretat.  Yep, just like Monet's paintings.  Unfortunately weather wasn't too special, but the town was very clean and very expensive. Only one night here, then headed home again.

This is what Bertie does when we get home.  I never know how come he never falls off the sofa back!

And this is what he does in the van!  Although we set out to do a couple of painting competitions, only managed one at Malestroit, but the following day was damp (again) so decided to abandon the painting and just loaf about!  After that we moved on towards the coast.  Ended up near Roscoff -hardly anyone around. Amazing!

Near Roscoff.  White sands, very picturesque. However, decided to spend the night further inland on a campsite because we were worried about the fridge.

Had a couple of nights here at Sizun.  Awful village, but campsite was really nice, and by a river.

Think I might have a go at painting this one day!  After this we moved on up to Port Diben and had a couple of nights up there, then crawled our way home staying at Frehel (very hot) and then Hirel (also hot).  Because of fridge problems felt we must get home and get the thing sorted. Unfortunately got home to find out that Faye had just died.  We are both so shocked and really sad, she was a really super friend and we are going to miss her so much.
