Last Days in St Martin sur Oust, France

These are our last days in Bretagne, France which we spent at home or within half an hours walk or so. This is our front porch with mum, Bec and the kids.

Steph and I went for a bike ride thanks to our fantastic neighbors who opened up their home to us. Luckily then enjoy a wine as much as we do, and we've made some friends to keep in contact with.

These homes front directly onto the River Oust. Its a floodplain and hence floods from time to time. Apparently our place had 18 inches over the ground floor in the last decade. Do they sand bag? Nope....that would involve stress and stress doesn't exist here....you just move your books upstairs until the water recedes.

 This is the main bridge in town. Notice I have no helmet....there's a lot less rules here....makes for less stress!

This is the lock in our town where holiday boats are moved up or down stream.

This canal rivers has a cycle path that is maintained in excellent condition for its entire length (137 km) which makes for scenic riding.

The predominant crop (in fact all I have seen) is wheat and canola. Notice no fences in contrast to England's drystone walls that where literally everywhere. Not even the roadside crops are fenced...they don't worry about fencing anything in....no stress.

Jacob and Ella holding hands? What's going on? Apparently no stress!

Walking opportunities are everywhere. This one at our river close to home.
