Josselin 2007

Harriet and I are just back from an overseas holiday in France. We now just getting into some normality of life again. I took several thousand photographs of our trip away, so I have the potential for a lot of Blogs!! ….. see the list of Blogs below. I am sending this e-mail as little snapshot of ONE section of 3.5 weeks away!! I have chosen to send you samples of one area only, as often in a town, you would see samples of what we saw all over France. This sample is of the town of Josselin, down about midway in western France (Brittany). At Josselin, you are entering the Loire Valley with the Loire River …. The longest river in France. In later samples there will be photos on the river and the towns and Chateaux’s (or castles) along the river.

We had a two night stay in Josselin at a Bed and Breakfast place owned by an English couple (Ann and Brian Bird) who had come over and restored the house in three years ..... travelling back and forth to England. See their website at:
