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
