Busy Friday and a fun weekend

We hired a car for the day from the Super U supermarket and took some stuff to the déchetterie (rubbish dump.)
After the déchetterie we drove to Ploermel and did a big shop at the E.Leclerc supermarket. They had these figues de barbarie which we thought were figs but they turned out to be prickly pears.
The E.Leclerc had an automatic crêpe machine, I’ve never seen one before. Not as good as a pancake machine maybe but still impressive.
The prickly pears taste a bit like watermelon. They’re quite sweet when ripe.

Saturday was quite rainy in the morning, as a result there was no queue at the market at our favorite vege stall and a very small queue at the cheese man so we bought some 30 month old comté and a nice blue cheese as well. In the afternoon the weather improved so we biked to Pomeleuc and back, then in the evening we went out for dinner with our friends Lewis and Martine at La Table d’O which is the flashest restaurant in Josselin, just up the road from us.

My entré was pressed rabbit, very tasty.
Pauline couldn’t make her mind up about desert so she got tiny amounts of all four of them.
Sunday there was a vide-grenier (flea market) at the Place Saint-Martin at the top of the village so we took a look.
The church in the background Eglise Saint-Martin is from the twelfth century because of course it is.
I really liked this bicycle. €60 seems a bit steep though.
We walked back home down some lanes we had never been down before.
This house with a turret on the side was pretty cool.
We particularly liked the gargoyle.
