Imagine the scene

For anyone trying to really imagine what life is like for us, then let me set the scene for you. Once again, the evening routines of diary, maps, logging the money and travel have all happened as normal. But something was niggling me. For those that remember the badly lip synced version of Heidi that used to be on the television, I felt that I was there. It wasn't anything to do with where we are or what we were doing, as it was head down into my diary, but this soft gentle tinkle of a bell kept on clanging. It felt like Peter ( from said Heidi TV programme) was walking up the hills to visit Heidi. And low and behold, I looked out of my window and this goat, with accompanying soundtrack of cow bell, cruised ( sorry wrong verb I know, but it's what came to my head) by the window. So now Jasper and Maya can't sleep because of the aforementioned cruising goat of Erdeven now seemingly circling our vehicle. So that is life. Attached is a picture of the setting in and out of the van. Can you spot the goat?

In addition to the circling, cruising goat of Erdeven that has enhanced our day, we drove 95 miles today. Glorious driving conditions and beautiful empty roads. We arrived on our free farm for the night (hence the goat) and then went for an evening cycle upto the Erdeven show. A local event celebrating music, dance, and copious food. Fantastic cookery done in cauldrons perched over a dug channel of burning timbers, and then local dance which to the laymen in me, resembled lazy mans dancing. It was a cross between country dancing and walking......with all the verve removed. People were smiling, but somehow it was a little lacklustre. The local costumes were great though. Maya loved it, and Jasper was just trying to shoot them with a gun he'd won on a lucky dip game of Peche (fishing!). 

Down to Carnac for a few days as of tomorrow then onto La Rochelle on Wednesday!

Happy days.

Ps. The goat has gone ....for now!
