We do things differently in Brittany…

As you can see from our local Ambulance service…

None of that silly saline solution for our IV drips!

We prefer the real stuff…

Works every time!

You know…

It’s nearly worth getting run over for!

Xavier, one of my neighbours, was telling me about this theory his brother has….

That rural France is slowly but surely being over-run by a new breed…

The Nibans!

Ni urban, ni rural!

And you know what, I have to agree.

Edna has been getting really quite nasty since the chicks were born…

Attacking anyone who got into the pen…

Which meant that feeding the chickies (or collecting their eggs) was very difficult.

Then he started getting into our neighbour’s garden and frightening the children there…

So, Edna had to go!

And, when it came time to do the dastardly act…

I found I couldn’t do it myself…

After all, Edna was my mate!

So, when the neighbour offered to do it for me I said yes.

I bet he’s saying to himself…

“Notre Voisin, un vrai Niban!”

All the best

I spotted this in the Supermarket car park in Redon last Saturday…

And even though we were late…

I just had to spend 5 minutes…

To take a look.

Have you ever seen anything sexier?

This beautiful example of a 2CV6 Club, even if she is slightly dented (that just adds to the authenticity) is a motorist delight!

Whilst not quite as fast as the blue coloured models…

She has been tastefully customised and is…

A true sexy beast!

The Girlie pointed this one out to me….

Outside the supermarket in Redon…

One of those idiot cars…

Parked, as usual…

Where it shouldn’t have been!

This part of the car park is reserved…

For bicycles!

So, of course…..

Our Noddy car driving nutter…..

Just had to park there!

I spotted it from across the street…

I had to look twice…

I watched it park…

The white van wasn’t even there!.

It just couldn’t be true what I was watching!

I mean…

These are the smallest cars in the world!

All that room…

And he has to take up two parking spaces!

And have you noticed…

The broken bumper on the front driver’s side?

That sort of thing happens a lot to these little cho cho cars…

Well, it must be difficult squeezing them into a parking space?…

The driver of the white van which parked behind the VSP (yes, that space was all clear when Mr Nutter decided to take up two spaces with his deathmobile)…

Just shook his head as if to say….

“There’s a good reason why some people shouldn’t be allowed to drive!”

I agree!

I suppose it must be difficult…

A nearly empty car park and the smallest car in the world…

Squeezing that MASSIVE car into a little parking space must be a real challenge for some?

The driver of this speed machine (who looked as fissed as a part at 8am) almost managed to take up only one parking space.

Almost… but not quite!

Nice go-faster stripes, I thought to myself…

But then I saw what car they were attached to…

I suppose if any car need to go faster, it’s one of these…

I loved that sign in the window… “I’ve got the time because I’m retired.”

Perhaps I should have a sign in my window, saying… “But I’m not retired and I haven’t got the time to be stuck behind you poodling around doing 45 km per hour!”

Sleek? Svelte? About the same size as a shopping trolley? Sexy – definitely no!	Got a Micro Sized Brain? Well, there’s a Micro Sized Car to match!
Even from this angle it looks slightly less attractive than a dog’s turd!

This sign has recently appeared at the end of the lane…

I’m not really sure what it is trying to say…

1). Is it a menu?

Speciality of the house – Roast Children!

2). Is it a warning?

Wild children loose in the area; enter at your own risk. Do not pet the children – they have sharp teeth and they bite!

3). Is it a request?

Some families here have young children; please slow down!

I suppose it’ll be one of the three…

Never had Roast Children – wonder what it tastes like?

All the best

And this, Ladies and Gentlemen (and family members who are otherwise described)…

Is what I call a proper car!

Separate chassis, subtle paint job….

What more could you want?

I have it on good authority that The Stig drives one of these….

When he gets bored with all those Porsches and Ferraris!

One perfect example of the one thing wrong in rural France…

One careful owner…	A well loved car maintained….
By an owner who doesn’t have a license…	And only has one brain cell!
