We set off at the beginning of June only 65 kilometres down the road to Carantec where we met up with Stéphanie, my middle granddaughter who is studying geology at Cardiff uni.
We spent a lovely Sunday together which ended with this enormous cloud that covered the sky and started a 3 hour thunderstorm with torrential rain.
We had a delicious crepe lunch and then a walk along the shore collecting pebbles and learning about the rocks from Steph.
The view out to sea was beautiful with perfect blue sky and golden beaches edged with wild flowers.
I turned the sketch into a stitch picture using organza and assorted yarns.
After waiting another 2 days for the weather to clear we decided to go home and re-start our holiday later. We studied the forecasts and made the decision to go south to the Mediterranean coast where it was a lot warmer!
On the 8th of June we set off again southwards through the Massif Central with it's lovely views from the A75 free motorway of the amazing wild flowers and the extinct volcanoes in the distance.
The sketch also became another stithpic which I worked on for several days when we reached our next destination.
We made a stopover for the weekend at Millau on on a peaceful wooded campsite by the river Tarn.
There was a gang of ducks that came by every day at the same tome on the scrounge for crumbs, quacking and wagging their tails.
