Vannes

Word play, the heatwave has made us swap Van Life for Vannes Life. Our two night airbnb just pops its head above the brightly coloured building.

Early morning and late evening walks in this lovely city keep a dog’s paws cooler and her owners very happy. The multi coloured building is a contemporary creative space. Surrounded by arty farty stuff that is right up our rue.

Not that all has gone to plan. Why ever would it.

The early morning walk was supposed to culminate in a visit to an Art Gallery.

To say that we have missed this exhibition because the ambient temperature of the gallery is not working is a huge disappointment. The Gallery is closed until the weekend. For those of you also in the grip of a heatwave I can only offer you this really cool image from outside the gallery

What to do in a heatwave?

Find a beach?

Actually we found a beach with an old Oak tree. The Oak tree became the saviour of the day.

The perfect filter of heat and sunshine. We had never imagined we could be out in 35 degrees and enjoy a couple of hours of swimming and chilling. Chilling might be an exaggeration but neither us nor Lola overheated. The tree magnified whatever small amount of wind nature was providing and the  dappled shade was fabulous.

The only time we were over warm was when we were swimming . Lola chose not to on this occasion. She preferred the wind in her ears.

The heatwave has changed our immediate plans. Another blog incoming.
