Confrérie du Hareng Côtier
Berck Kite festival for the first time in a few years. Nice snack of herrings with a glass of rosé.
All the Trees are Green
Reasonable trip back but slowed by a jacknifed lorry across the motorway, just enough room for cars to squeeze by, sadly the lorries had to wait. No sighting of the beaver before we left but saw a Golden Oriole and young pheasants by the entrance.
Lunch Menu
Used the Park and Ride tram to get into Tours to do some shopping, sadly the Geneviève Lethu shop was shut. Plat du Jour for lunch.
Fairytale Château
Visited Chateau d'Ussé, very busy as all the French had decided to visit too. Pleasant drive back along the Loire.
Messing about on the River
Local market in the morning. Canoe on the river in the afternoon. Beaver, cormorant and woodpecker today.
Castor
Into Chinon and a nice lunch at "Bistrot de la Place". Sightings of beaver, heron and otter on our return.
Home for the Week
Good drive down via Rouen, Le Mans and Tours. We saw the first stork of the season near St. Valery and Kingfisher and Beaver on our arrival at le Moulin.
All the Trees are nearly Green
First proper trip to St. Valery in a while, although the shops were shut. Herons and Egrets. Leaves starting to come out.
Carrefour
Shopping at Berck, with a walk around the village in the afternoon. A pair of Grebes on the lake.
Thank you P&O!
Good trip cross country to the terminal, but the queues were horrendous due to all the Dutch and Germans having to use the tunnel rather than the ferry.
