You guys, we are having SUCH gorgeous weather, which is amazingly unusual for Bretagne.
And I just thought I would give you a glimpse of what it’s like to vacation here.
Of course there’s cheese after each meal …
And place settings for 17 people.
There are the scarves on the beach.
And picnic dinners with baguettes.
There is sunbathing on the rocks.
And jumping from the dunes.
There are sand castles to build.
And uncles to delight in.
There are the French lifeguards being vigilant . . .
And the French seagulls stealing cookies.
There are even places for Hunter to run!
What better place for an “epagneul breton” to be, than in Brittany?
He, obviously, cannot think of one.
Happy, Happy Summer everyone!
Jennifer says
I love the photo with the umbrella and the sky. So pretty and summery.
Leanne says
Oh, love!!! The kids are SO BIG . . . The puppy . . . SO BIG! The life . . . SO GRAND! Love these photos and the life they show. (And that face on your little one makes me laugh out loud. He is such a character!)
p.s. I recvd your email about the book . . . I have started, but I don’t think I will finish before you pull it out. My friend, you are gifted beyond words! And I look forward to reading the hard copy once it is printed. Your life, your experiences, you stories . . . I wish I could give you a big hug. So please accept these words as hug enough, for now.

Scarves on the beach?! That seems so European! My parents are currently gallivanting through Europe at the moment. Wish I could be with them or you or anyone else having a fabulous European vacation.

Kiran from Masala Chica says
I want to be there. I also have always wanted to wear a scarf on the beach but that never would have flown in New Jersey. The french are so much cooler.

Ameena says
What a beautiful place to vacation! I’ve never been to Bretagne but one of these days I will get there. It just looks idyllic.
Have a fantastic time Jennie!
ladyjennie says
It is lovely if you don’t mind cold water. You might actually prefer Normandy – Deauville, for instance. We’ll talk before you plan your trip.
Poppy says
I think the lifeguards needed a snack – hilarious! Looks like you are having a fine time, my friend!

We’re in the Côtes d’Armor near St Malo. What about you? Where are you going? Apparently, Bretagne gets about one good summer every 3 years. Hopefully this is it for you.
Emma says
Even though I’ve lived here 3 years, I still love the nonchalance with which French men smoke! I love your accordion player – he couldn’t be more French if he tried!

Salut Emma! Though my four brother-in-law’s are all different, they’re all so cool (and undeniably French). 😉
My Inner Chick says

Good food, family, friends, and a love for life. Is there anything better than that? I don’t think so. Love your perspective on things.
ladyjennie says
Hi Sharon – thank you! (And welcome) 🙂
