<\/a><\/p>\nWe completed a fairly large circle \u2013 turned left from our gate and walked down 2 streets (to understand distance, think big city downtown blocks), turned left again which eventually brought us out by the pub, turned left again until we reached Beg ar Land (our street), and back up our road (second house in).\u00a0 All that took us about 2-3 hours.\u00a0 Why that long, you ask?\u00a0 Because we had our cameras with us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
We took lots of photos of flowers, peoples\u2019 gardens, their homes, their livestock, their fields, their farm equipment, etc.\u00a0 In some places, because we were elevated, we could easily see the ocean.<\/p>\n
When we made our first left, we left the houses behind and entered farmland.\u00a0 A small irony\u2026 earlier in our vacation, we spent days looking for safe places to stop and take pictures of artichoke fields only to discover that there are 2 within walking distance.<\/p>\n The horses we came across must have been waiting for us as one of them put on quite the show of rolling in the grass.\u00a0 (There was a wire fence which got in the way of perfect photos…)<\/p>\n Slightly further along, we met a man who was repairing a stone wall.\u00a0 Because we showed an interest in his work, he took us around the other side to explain what he was doing.\u00a0 Seems over the years, these stone walls settle in and push the mortar out, causing the walls to shift.\u00a0 He was removing old mortar, straightening up the stones, and applying new mortar.\u00a0 That\u2019s pretty labour intensive but he certainly looked very proud of his craft.\u00a0 We chatted for a bit and he was extra careful in how he spoke to us so he was fairly easy to understand.\u00a0 He was explaining that there\u2019s very little fluctuation in temperatures in Brittany \u2013 summers around 22-25, winters hardly ever below freezing and hardly ever any snow (if it snows, no one goes to work \u2013 they can\u2019t drive and there are no municipal vehicles to clear snow).\u00a0 That would explain the palm trees!!! something we definitely weren\u2019t expecting just a wee bit south (and west) of Paris.<\/p>\n On the same road, there is an agricultural business which was busy with tractors coming and going.\u00a0 We had an anxious moment when a dog walked right underneath one of them!!! and out the other side.\u00a0 Silly puppy!!!!!!<\/p>\n After our next left, we were back into homes, most of which had the most gorgeous gardens.\u00a0 Makes you wonder if all French residents know how to build a beautiful garden or if they hire out to have them done.<\/p>\n We passed a few neighbours who said \u201cbonjour\u201d but who also kept a close eye on us as we clearly were not locals.<\/p>\n Tonight, we used up random food in the fridge.\u00a0 I made scallop potatoes with leftover cream sauce from last night\u2019s dinner and we also had salad, pate\u2019s, cheeses, breads, wine, and cider.\u00a0 I can\u2019t understand why we haven\u2019t put on 10 lbs since we got here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The plan was to fit in one more hike before we left but, as it was raining again this morning, we postponed the hike until tomorrow.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been in Trevou-Treguignec for almost a month and, with only 2 days left, Read More …<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brittany","category-france"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2279"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2326,"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2279\/revisions\/2326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maureensmusings.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a> \u00a0 <\/a> <\/a> \u00a0 <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a> <\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/a> <\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 (that’s our street behind Steve)<\/p>\n
