Standing stones

I took some time out from my responsibilities to visit a site not far away that has some marvellous standing stones.

Monteneuf

Brittany is littered with these Megaliths, as is Cornwall, Southern and Western England right through to Scotland, Shetland, Orkney and Ireland.

In fact the western seaboard of Europe has an interesting history of shared culture from Galicia through to Scandinavia. Perhaps due to the common racial heritage of those first hunter gatherers who colonised the empty lands as the ice sheet retreated.

Beautiful place, sunny day.

Spring is coming..............

Break in the weather

The depressing few MONTHS! of rain seem to have passed for the moment.

Despite being cold it is now DRY.....

Last weekend was actually warm and a visit to the seaside at St Philibert, Morbihan washed away the blues.

The French were out in force and it felt like a summers day. Lets hope things can only get better.

Rain rain go away............

Will it ever stop raining?

It has been going virtually non stop here in Brittany for around 2 months now.

The garden is so wet, and we are on a valley side, that its impossible to do anything. Yet the grass is still growing. Bum.

Stuck in the house with everything closed.

BUT, going back to Blighty next week to sort "something" out. Be glad when it's all done and dusted.

Meanwhile, the cat is looking cute.
