It seems to take forever to get light this morning plus there is the usual early morning rain.
We only have a short drive directly north towards Roscoff with a short stop at the service point in Penze. It’s as pretty and tranquil as ever and we consider staying here for the day but guess if we want to get a space in Roscoff we cannot wait until Saturday morning.
For once the river is nearly full, instead on being mudflats, and scores of white birds are gathered on the shore waiting to feed on the ebb.
Farmers are obviously busy now, in place the road is slick with mud carried out of the fields by tractor tyres and just after we turn off at the Perhardy sign we see the pickers stooping to cut cauliflowers.
To our surprise when we reach the aire there are only three vans, or rather two vans and a Concord mobile mansion. The east part of the aire has a temporary fence with signs saying reserved car parking for the nearby nutritional school.
The estuary is full of blue water with a windsurfer trying hard but not going very far or fast.
We get online and complete the border control forms then do little for the afternoon. More vans arrive and there are periods of heavy rain, after one shower the sun emerges and casts a full rainbow over the bay right down to the wet sand.
Despite being as lovely as usual in Roscoff and the aire filling through the day, the number of people actually out and about and the number of cars are way lower than normal.
