It's about all you can get to eat at public events i.e. fetes, agricultural shows etc. Is it no wonder that I go crazy for the food when I'm in England? :-) And you are welcome re the butterfly. :-) Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-62965108249202657412016-07-23T09:51:54.745+02:002016-07-23T09:51:54.745+02:00Thanks Philippa - it was lovely and would be great...Thanks Philippa - it was lovely and would be great if you wanted a beach type of holiday too.

It's been really wonderful being able to get away and see new places after being stuck at home last year and most of the year before! :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-12540024519429075662016-07-16T15:50:35.337+02:002016-07-16T15:50:35.337+02:00This does look like a lovely place to wander aroun...This does look like a lovely place to wander around with so much character. I find walled towns fascinating; the walls give such an ancient feel to a place. I love all the birds too especially the avocet and the beautiful linnet.

There just aren't enough hours in the day to read tons about places to visit beforehand, and as I said to Amanda above, I have collected tons of brochures and maps to help with the 'next times'! I also think that learning everything about a particular place beforehand spoils the visit a little, (depending what you are visiting) as I like to learn during the visit, so long as the info is given, of course!<br /><br />There are tons of interesting places to see within about 2-3 hours from home. You should certainly give some thought to crossing the channel. With your love of history you'd love it here, and there are churches galore. :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-9259969905152819062016-07-16T07:07:09.568+02:002016-07-16T07:07:09.568+02:00Thanks very much Amanda.

Each place we've visited I've been picking up tons of tourist leaflets about places to visit and things to do.... Not stuff you necessarily know about beforehand unless you spend hours on the net researching, and if you have very limited time there's no chance to see the places of interest. But hoping there will be plenty of next times now we have the MoHo! xxMillymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-78657237086731663672016-07-15T14:00:10.686+02:002016-07-15T14:00:10.686+02:00Gosh what a wonderful walled city - know the feeli...Gosh what a wonderful walled city - know the feeling about reading up on places before visiting!!! <br /><br />Great selection of waders and especially love the photos of the Avocets. Your photos really do make me want to visit this part of France - so much of interest to see and do.<br /><br />So pleased you are having so much fun with your purchase :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-6552046857925519842016-07-15T12:01:15.788+02:002016-07-15T12:01:15.788+02:00Another lovely place, you got to see the same bird...Another lovely place, you got to see the same birds as I did on our trip to Northumberland, not many birds as it's wrong time of year, March is better..<br />Guérande looks a interesting place and could spend hours here discovering things. I had the same thing I wish I had read up on more about the places we visited as they were things we missed...Oh well I will just have to go back !<br />So glad you are enjoying your self's and getting about...<br />Amanda xx <br />Amanda Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760505541954557539noreply@blogger.com
