Well here we are, and on 3rd June we had tremendous thunder with no rain nor lightening.
We participated in a family zoom which was partially successful, as these things are.
10th June saw our first wet day in Gouarec, first of many to come I'm sure!
Amanda (English gardener) came again on 13th. What a boon she is to us as we have no tools with which to garden. The only things I have are small trowel and fork used to tend plants in pots on the boat, clippers and a pair of shears (bought at a Vide de Granier) to clip over grown bank side moorings!

Not quite how I'd intended to spend the day, but enjoyable nevertheless. It had been planned to have a family gathering in the UK, but Covid-19 put a stop to that.
We found a fabulous Brocante in Callac, which I think is going to be our favourite shop.
I've actually had to buy a pair of Wellies, not needed for ages. When boating, especially during the winter I avoided wet muddy paths to walk Tashi as she would have got so wet and muddy. So the need for wellies was superfluous.
We found the Friday night market in the village. Mainly bio, and home grown items. But a fabulous bakery stall.
The gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes are giving us a lot of fruit, which I have picked and frozen.

Finally managed to get a hair cut on 23rd, and Ni on 25th. Feeling more civilized now.
The French bed, bedside tables, dressing table and chair and two chandeliers we bought at the Brocante were delivered on 27th.
We were honoured by the visit for a few days by a feral cat and her 8 kittens!!! They lodged in one of our log piles, so of course we fed them. Then they just went - no goodbyes, no thank yous!
Thank goodness the main garden is in good order because the vegetable garden isn't. Well the parts covered by weed blockers are OK but those left open need some urgent attention!
