Patisserie lit in fading daylight, windows lit from the index, creating a very welcoming shop. A lone figure stands at the far end

Thank you Paula. We like St Malo a lot but this time we are heading south tomorrow morning. Hoping the sun will put in an early appearance.

We hope so, St Malo tomorrow but a few days of grim weather, even by Lancashire standards, before the sunshine.

Windmills + fog = drama.

That is often what happens when they try to isolate the faulty bit. The supply is rerouted around it but often switched as the change is made - frustratingly this can happen again and again, as you know. Glad it is sorted now, enjoy your cuppa.

A monochrome photograph of an old fishing boat lying half-submerged in calm water near West Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland. The boatโ€™s wooden hull is worn and weathered, showing signs of age and long exposure to the elements. The surrounding water is still, and the scene conveys a quiet, solitary atmosphere, suggesting the slow passage of time along the rugged coastline.

Row of power lines on wooden posts with a row of trees on either side. The contrast between the living and the dead is interesting.

I always report supply problems from my mobile and then they send text messages with updates until the supply is restored. Good to know somebody is doing something.
