Our EASTER weekend!
Well haven't we been lucky with the weather for Easter - so unusual! Good Friday as you may well know, is not a holiday here, so nothing special happened apart from havin
g a hot choccie at our favourite bar. On SATURDAY the weather was glorious, we had a look around the market here in Josselin, as usual it was as bustling as ever,we had arranged to meet some English people at our cafe to give them some advice on working over here in France which we did, we then went back home pottered in the garden in the gorgeous sunshine with 
a drink or two, was my turn to make the dinner which was a lovely roast lamb with all the trimmings and strawberries for dessert!!!
SUNDAY yet another beautiful day - we were going to go to Carnac market but decided against it as the world and its wife would have been there being Easter with such lovely weather, and as we
didn't fancy that we had a leisurely brekkie and a nice long walk along the canal, so beautiful, trees in blossom spring flowers, putting the world to rights, on the way back we kind of passed our favourite cafe, ( look at pic to the right of owner serving us) we had walked a few km we thought we deserved another coffee, but the smell of the dish of the day, steak& chips was so great that it happened to lure us in to the last table available so bottle of wine, and a beautiful desert called 'cafe delice'. We meandered back home and just sat around in the garden, talking, reading and a little drinkie! Thats what holidays are all about doing sweet nothing!
MONDAY started off rather misty, but we could see that the sun was going to burn it all off later on, we had to go to my house about 45 mins away for 11am as there was someone wanting to view it! they did seem interested so keep your fingers crossed everyone! Whilst over that way, we thought we would go and see our friends Ros & Paul and their menagarie www.halfacrefarm@gmail.com they live right by my house, it was lovely sitting in the sunshine chatting over a coffee/beer! We then went in the afternoon to a local Vide Grenier in Guegon
, by this time the sun was fully out, it was beautiful, we bought a few bits and bobs and a bit of tack for Keiths collection (have a look at them all at bretondiary.com/diary/110409_they_live.html) sad I know but I cannot find anybody willing to
give him some therapy for his addiction - probably cos its too late! Back home we just sat out in the garden, later on we ate outside which was so nice, but then we saw that Cindy one of our 2 cats had caught a mouse! typical I thought just when we were eating, she had the audacity to crunch the bones at the same time - not nice, she ate it all apart from the entrails yeeeuuukkkk!
Now today TUESDAY, is rather manky and miserable and wet so lots of catching up to do indoors ie cleaning (moan moan) but thought I would post this funny attachment - a bien tot!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
Well what a beautiful morning it is! the sun is shining brightly, beautiful blue sky, and the man in my life made me breakfast! along with a paper to read and a little bag of easter eggs, prettily wrapped in cellophane with a bow - What more could a girl ask for!
We have decided to just be tourists here today, going to have a lazy meander down to the gardens of the Chateau here in Josselin, then on to a cafe for a nice cafe gourmet! What is so nice is that we can just walk there from our house, so nice not to have to get in a car and find a parking space being Easter!
After that back to the house, perhaps a snooze in the garden in the sun, potter around in the greenhouse, basically just be a pair of lazy wotsits - why not after all, it is a bank holiday!!! ENJOY YOUR DAY ONE AND ALL!Thursday 9 April 2009
