Big wave!


Big wave!, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

I said it was windy on Sunday, didn't I?

The 'Pont Aven', one of the Brittany Ferries fleet, was on its way to

Santander in Spain, but was battered by a 15m wave.

It broke windows on the 'pont-promenade', flooded some cabins, and a few

people were injured.

The boat was diverted to moor at Roscoff.

Some passengers said 'Never again!'

Others said it was a fluke, and felt confident about travelling with

Brittany Ferries on the future.

But I think many people were scared at the time.

Diboen, in Welsh, means 'painless'. So here the Breton and Welsh are identical.

Seaside blue


Seaside blue, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

This is my name for this paint colour which is used so frequently around the

coast.

And always so perfect!

Inland more subtle colours are called for, I feel.

And you rarely see this colour inland, so perhaps everyone is 'd'accord'!

Surfing beach, Locquirec


Surfing beach, Locquirec, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

We saw surfers here.
It was a rough and windy day.

The waves are coming from the North, from the Channel.

Maybe that's unusual, and the best surfing beaches are to the West, on the Atlantic coast. Perhaps it's not always so challenging here.

Feeling all smug and virtuous!

I've just cleaned out the garage!

And I've been to la déchetterie (the tip) three times today!

No, there weren't three carloads of rubbish and recycling matter in the

garage; I've been clearing out some of the other buildings as well.

Maintenant, je suis fatiguée!

It's some kind of weigelia, I think.
