Today we visited Rennes. Not particularly willingly, but our main lens decided to break down yesterday, so we had to get another. None here in St Malo. We phoned St Helier, Jersey, thinking we could go over on the ferry, but they didn’t have one, So, we went to Rennes, which according to our guide book is a nightmare for driving and parking. We weren’t keen, but needs must. After a few false starts, we found a really easy parking space, very close to a shop which turned out to have an English speaking salesman who had spent time in Scotland, and a second hand lens! So we had a walk around Rennes to test it. A seagull decided to poop on me – that’s supposed to be lucky, isn’t it? We are now back at St Malo and the weather is finally starting to look a little better.
