In Bath



Lovely French commentary on the golden arches!





Helen and Harry reunited - 45 years since grade 7!




I have gained status over here quite quickly!




Love those Cornish names, even if they are horozontally challenged




A windy day with big waves at Bude, Cornwall




Along the Nantes-Brest canal in Brittany

Steve, this sure looked like a Brent boat to me?!! in Morlaix







Breton dancers, Morlaix.












Canadian war cemetery at Benys sur mer, Normandy







A fall morning somewhere in Normandy







Mont St. Michel, Normandy






Weekly market at Dinan, Normandy








National Stud in Lamballe - unfortunately, being Canadian, I didn't qualify to be in the National Stud, but they said I was built like a horse!











Since the last entry I've visited an old friend on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, and then cycled through that county via Falmouth, St.Austell, Bodmin, Bude and Barnstaple, and hence by train to Bath for a couple of days prior to linking up with family in Evesham, Worcs.


Some of the paths in Cornwall made me wonder if I might not meet hobbits or goblins around the next vale or moor, such was the detached feeling along some of its more isolated stretches. In the bigger centres it seemed as if a good portion of the UKs seniors were still on summer vacation, and the weather was quite pleasant but cooler until later this week when I was confronted with wind and rain! Quite a combination if you are crossing Bodmin moor on bicycle!

Now that I have uploaded pictures I realise they are in quite a jumble timewise, but hope you enjoy anyway.
