A new-moutier experience

Rosemary Titanic pose on the jetty

A fine start to the day, so we did the reverse walk to yesterday and strolled along the jetty to get a panoramic view of the Bay de Dames.

We returned in time for Pecheur a Pied, (fishing on foot) a local pastime. I went with  my pink bucket at low tide and gathered a couple of inches of winkles to make a starter for our dinner.

It took 10 mins to cook a few dozen of them and 20 mins to winkle them out with a sewing needle, for Rosemary to gratin. They were a tasty starter, sort of Escargo de la Mer, but you would starve waiting for a main course if I were doing them.


The mosquitos have won. We are going to the Aire in town tomorrow afternoon for another (hopefully mosquito free) night on Noirmoutier.

I emailed the Caravan Club to get our ferry rescheduled to 8th June, so we will be home just in time for Queen's jubilee tea.
