S &C were in demand to meet up with the rellies, so the
rest of us planned to go to Ile de Brehat. N was not well, so stayed home, but
we four went off and took the ferry to the island which included a cruise
around the island before landing. It was very rough, but we managed to survive.
Our first visit was to the glass makers and it was very interesting. Set up in
the old fort, they have quite an industry going making door handles and knobs
and special glass balls for newel posts. They also make some beautiful art
glass. We spent ages there, then walked around to the centre of the island.
D went
off to the ferry, using N’s ticket, so he could feed the metre for the car.
We could only pay for 4 hrs at a time. He had lunch while the ferry was on its
lunch break as we did on the island. It all worked out and the sun came out in
the afternoon as we walked part way to the end of the island, looking at the
little church and the old watermill which are very picturesque. There are loads
of agapanthus out as well as hydrangeas.
Soon we needed to get back, so made
our way to the ferry and the drive back to Portrieux. On the way we stopped to see the old mooringsat Le port de Gwin Zegal. Here trees trunks are driven into the seabed, roots and all,and apparently last for a long time.
