A zoo with a difference
I, like most adults, am normally not a great fan of zoological parks. But Dunnells on Jersey is a zoo with a difference. I remember watching documentaries about the monkeys at Dunnells, so even though I am not a fan of zoos generally, I really wanted to see the monkeys and the monkey enclosures in real life. So when I had the chance to spend a day on Jersey the zoo was a must. Here are some of the great animals I encountered!
Hide and seek
Where are you?
Oh, there you are!
Talk to the hand!
Look I can eat with both my right and left hand!

Where are you?
Oh, there you are!

And here's some lavender from Jersey!

Souvenirs!
Not only did I eat well when I was in Bretagne, but I brought some souvenirs with me back home. Forgot to take the photo immediately so the Saint Nectaire is already a distant memory! But here's what's still there!
Paté breton with chestnuts; rillettes (a kind of pate) one with red mullet (and wild fennel) and one with scallops (and crispy seaweed); marinated salicorne; beurre au sel fumé (butter with smoked salt); two kinds of dried seaweed (nori and wakamé); croutons with nori; spring honey; and edible lavender and also a bunch of fresh lavender from Jersey (Channel Islands - yes, I was there too)

Back from Bretagne
Came back yesterday from a lovely week in beautiful Bretagne. It rained 6 out of 7 days... but that's summer holidays for you! :) At least I got to test the new rucksack before I leave for Vietnam and Laos later this year.
So enough said, lets post some holiday snaps! First I went to Mont St Michel, because I had heard so much about it. Beautiful, yes, but a bit too touristy for my liking. Anyway, voilà:
