Despite saying that last week\u2019s blog<\/a> won\u2019t be very long I managed to stretch it out \u2026\u00a0 This week I will start with the same claim and suspect it may be more accurate \u2013 certainly there aren\u2019t many photos!<\/p>\n

The fantastic weather we had enjoyed the previous week continued into this week and we had awarded ourselves Monday off as our first \u2018proper\u2019 beach day since we moved here.\u00a0 Dave had made a fantastic picnic<\/a> that we took up to the north coast just to the west of Roscoff where there are lots of beaches where dogs are allowed<\/a> \u2013 while technically dogs are not allowed on most Finist\u00e8re beaches one of the lovely things about the French is they tend to be very pragmatic about such rules and, as long people are considerate, dogs can be taken most places.<\/p>\n

We chose a beach in Dossen facing the \u00cele de Siec which is only an island at high tide.\u00a0 As lots of the beaches here this one had a very gently sloping shoreline and as we arrived at low tide the sea seemed a very long way out and there was at least 800 metres between the waterline either side of the causeway.<\/p>\n

Brandon loved his first trip to the coast and Garratt has become a real water baby and they both enjoyed swimming in the beautifully crystal clear water.<\/p>\n
