My Birthday - Roscoff and the ile de Batz

   I had a very different sort of birthday this year, it's the first time I've spent it in Finistere! Paul suggested that we went up to Roscoff and had lunch there, so we went to the Auberge du Quai and it was sooo nice - the fish was outstanding - well actually everything was.
  We decided to get a boat over to the Ile de Batz and walk round the island. It was great, there's something about the islands, the small towns which instantly give way to farmland, and the coast, the coast and more coast. The island was very quiet with very few people there which was a contrast to the gentle crowds of summer. We got the last boat back at 6pm and it was interesting to see that the boat had brought back some islanders  who evidently work or go to school on the mainland. What a truly blissful commute!

 

   And my birthday was wonderful, one I shall always remember.
