Ste Hermine and Angers

Here I am with Sheila and Geoff. Sheila and I used to be in the same class at De Burgh Secondary School, Tadworth, Surrey. They have settled in France, close to the medieval village of Vouvant. We had a lovely lunch at their house and a very long chat.

On our arrival back at the campsite that day the Campbells and Bristows had arrived. A cool afternoon and a wet evening.

Carol and David had to depart, but left us with something to do. One was eat the geriatric jelly babies called Jellyatrics (get it!) and to race the 'Racing Grannies'. Well you can see that Sybil enjoyed it. Isn't there a law against ageism?

We had a group outing to Fontenay-le-Comte. Unfortunately it rained and the round the town walk was curtailed. It must be a nice place on a sunny day.

Sue and I have moved on to Angers now where there are plenty of cycling paths. We cycled beside the River Maine to do a geocache. The Maine itself is wide but a little further along it joins the Loire.

Sue at the bottom of the steps to Saint Sauveur, Angers.

La Maison d'Adam can be found in the centre of Angers. It is 16th Century.

At rest on our way into Angers.

Here is the massive Castle of Angers (early 13th century), with its moat and soaring towers. We didn't go in this time.

There was a geocache close to the entrance of castle. It took a while to find. It was a 35mm film container tied to the ivy using gardening wire.
