After a wet and wild night it only seems fair that we have a wet and wild day too! I must admit that having had a very busy week or so we are ready for a bit of a break – ideally in the sun but as that wasn’t to be, having a chill day when it is wet and wild outside and we are warm and cozy inside, is not a bad alternative.

There was a brief break in the heavy showers during the afternoon, so we took a chance and headed off out for a walk to see the three beaches of this village, all within easy reach – firstly was Plage de Plage de Bertheaume a pretty sandy smallish cove….

Next up was the very small Plage des Cures – especially bearing in mind the tide must be roughly half way by now…

We didn’t venture down as it was those horrible metal steps that Tilly will not walk on and I am trying to keep an eye on the rain cloud situation, knowing that we are on borrowed time. We pressed on to the main beach of the village – a long stretch of white sand where we enjoyed a nice walk before tackling the long hill back up to the Aire….

We just made it back as the first drops of rain came, so we are now warm and cozy and feeling rather smug!

Thoughts of the day:

• I often wonder on days like today what Tilly makes of it – is she relieved too that we are taking an enforced break? She certainly isn’t clamouring to get out and seems perfectly happy to doze the day away!
• It certainly isn’t cold inside the van but somehow it feels good to stick the heating on and just bask!
