800km from St.Malo ( would be just over 600 if I just stuck to the highways- but had no desire to just do highway ) and this is the view tht greets me when I walk into the bedroom at the B&B I just checked in at. It's at the top of a hill overlooking the village below, by the way, that green hill just underneath that looks like a green hill of grass for cows, is actually ferns, all standing nearly a meter tall. I wondered why the farmer ( yes the owner is a farmer ) is growing ferns when he has cows and pigs that he is raising. Turns out he cuts it down in autumn to use as bedding for the cows and pigs during winter, then in spring he will clean out all the bedding and mulch it into his fields where he grows the grass/grains for the cows to feed in summer on the farm old school last rays of light through the mountain tops after a good quite country rest I wake up in the morning hoping for a spectacular sunrise, instead it is for and mistbut it still makes for a great photo some still life around the farm lot so flowers around and the ferns ok, breakfast and then it is off the Spain
