30 July 2010 Friday

One of the things I love here is the number of birds that come into the garden( mainly I think because there are very few cats!) ,so first thing this morning I fill up the bird feeders with nuts,seeds and water.

I ride again to Ploermel as it’s market day. The market is mainly fruit and veg, but there are also a few clothes stalls and a few which are definetely aimed at the tourists selling jewellery  and local aromotherapy products.

I buy a copy of Ouest Franc,the daily newspaper which gives,national,international & local news,along with details of all the local events and sit in a bar with a Briezh Coke ( a local Breton Cola).

There is a band playing tonight in Josselin,which I think I will go and see.

In the afternoon I ride round to see Ken & Lesley who run the Bikers B & B in Remineac. It is very tempting to say Yes to  the stubby beer they offer , as it is a really hot afternoon, but I stick to a cup of tea, especially as I will be riding to Josselin once I leave here.

The back road from Ken & Lesleys has been resurfaced with those damn Gravillons so I take the fast route to Josselin along the motorway.

I choose the restaurant with the best view of where the band are setting up,but that table I sit on has been reserved so I  get moved my the waitress to a table with a restricted view-not so clever!

I order my meal : pizza with pepperoni & ham and a green salad with walnuts, and a shandy.

The band do not start playing until 7.15pm, having taken ages to set up and then only play for half an hour! Hardly worth the effort!
