    Looks  like plenty to share around @Dovefromabove.

    We're "thinking thin" this month so a light prawn, pak choi and pepper stir fry for us with some noodles.

    Sorting through some more paperwork with Dad .....does this place still exist @Obelixx ?  We used to go camping there in the late 70’s early 80’s

    I love a quiche Lorraine - very tasty.  Had a very thorough back and shoulder massage this morning and have been warned it might be quite painful tomorrow. I have also booked an appointment with the 'shoulder' GP next week. Sunny and dry after lunchtime so nipped out to do a spot of quick weeding, trying to use my left hand without much success. First daffs are out!

    Yes @chicky - http://www.la-loubine.fr/ tho it will have changed enormously since then.  In the last 30 years the Vendée has moved from rural backwater to dynamic economy with plenty of new roads and new light industry and increased holiday parks and facilities.   Very easy to get around now and also still easy to find quiet spots tho I wouldn't go anywhere near a beach in August when Paris and what seems like half the rest of northern and inland of France descend.

    Thanks @Obelixx 😀. We stayed in a tent and don’t remember a pool (but might be wrong).  Remember walking through the pine forests to the beach.  Simpler times đŸ€Ș

    Much simpler.  That coast is now full of overnight and longer parking for camper vans and fully mod conned parks for caravans, static caravans and chalets.   So is "our" bit down by La Tranche-sur-mer.   Still a few tent places left tho.

    Within 10 minutes of us we also no have this - https://ofunpark.fr/ and this https://www.oglisspark.fr/ which Possum loves and an hour away there's this - https://www.puydufou.com/en?language_content_entity=en which OH has done with his brother and sister but not me and Possum and her pal went last summer and loved it too.  

    People want a bit more entertainment these days.

    Good evening. 
    Nice day in the garden. A wee bit chilly but no wind so nice to get stuff done so early in the year.  
    @Lyn, we've got frog spawn.

    @Hostafan1 it’s certainly made a difference to your recycling box, remember how it used to be đŸ€­đŸ˜
