A walk in the forest.

Went for another walk in the forest today.

I took my mushrooming basket but there was nothing about.

Didn’t even see any deer. I can wait.

In a few months, not only will there be some Pleurotes (Oyster mushrooms) but also lots of baby deer. I love deer.

Still, a good walk. It’s funny that no matter how many little worries you have on your mind (and these days, what worries I have are only small ones), after a good walk in the forest, they all seem to resolve themselves and disappear.

Sanglier

Having heard them in the forest many times, today I finally came face to face (or face to snout) with a ‘Sanglier’ (wild boar to you – and was it wild, not half!).

It was a lot bigger than I expected, and a lot faster too.

There was a party of hunters in the forest (presumably hunting the poor beast) and I almost went up to them to say – “it went that way”.

But in the end I decided not too – it (the Sanglier) belonged in the forest. In some strange way, we didn’t.

For anyone who wants to find out more about these very frightening beasts (without having to change underpants afterwards), try…. Lost in France – Sanglier Page

This site details my simple life in Brittany and the things that are really important to me – such as cooking, eating, reading and enjoying the beautiful countryside and the people who live here.

Whilst this site is certainly not intended to be a definitive guide to living in France (it’s more of an explanation of how and why I choose to live here), you may find information here that aids you in your life (whether you are living here now, or planning to move over), or for your holidays in this beautiful part of France where I have chosen to make my home.

All the best
