Saint-Cast-le-Guildo

Tone has a cold 🤧, so good job an easy day today! Huge breakfast , no tea eaten last night (shop/ restaurant shut!) Homemade jams & yoghurt made by our air b n b host with cool glasses ( tortoishell with yellow arms ) Everyone has cool specs here in France! 🥸
Set off in the mild fog towards St Cast le Guildo , our next pit stop. Up & down steps, alongside the estuary with incredible sight of the muscle farming in this region. ‘Bouchets’ is the name of this type of mussel and is cultivated on wooden poles and rope. Rows & rows in the sea , quite striking! The amphibious vehicle collects them . Colours of dry bracken, pale blue seas, sounds of quiet lapping waves of incoming tide & woodpeckers and primroses and badger poo at our feet. We descended to the long , empty beaches , and into the town with an open supermarket for lunch/ tea provisions and yippee , a cafe open too! A good , easy ish day for the coldy boy! Early night from our sea view , three heavy days ahead 😬Les mer
