Jolie

I had to take some pictures for a nice piece of bureaucracy. We are planning to change the windows of the remaining originals. It has come to our notice that we need to do a ‘declaration’- not a ‘permis de contruire’ but it seems like permission to me. Somewhat ridiculous. I could not do the applicaton online as I could not see all that I needed to do. I sent to La Mairie’ and it seems photos are part of the requirements. Already the process is getting on my nerves.

Anyway she said the house looked ‘jolie’. Ans I suppose it does.

Sunday special walk

One of our longer ones and at the same time we are exploring our local area. This is a walk of the chapels centred on Neulliac, just south of Mûr de Bretagne. The route is 22 km but we took a slightly different route and so only 18km. Beautiful church at one point, nice walk along the Blavet with the tumbling down building visible. Plus a memorial to resistance fighters killed in a battle in 1944.

The activity continues

Mixing it up a little today with the first trip on the bike for a while. A relatively short circuit of 10km. Limited a little by brake rubbing problem which I am yet to fix properly. A nice morning though with fresh air, rising sun and cold cheeks.

All followed by a late afternoon walk as a couple. We happened to a local woman aged 87 who was out for her own walk and wanted a chat.
