Nakedness!! Mon April1. It would be would'nt it.

"Well who would have believed it eh Tanya?" I'm seated and looking out at a dreek (Scottish for cold wet and windy.) Lac Vasiviere.

Yesterday it was simply gorgeous. A cool breeze which died later in the day but clear blue sky and wall to wall sunshine. We had arrived early enough to find this little track which came to stop right where we are on the lakeside. It will, I may add involve a quarter mile  reverse out as there aint no turning space for something as large as Sadie!

Settling in was soon accomplished and off we went for a delightful walk through the woods. We followed the shore line and stopped at some of the numerous tiny lakeside beaches. Again I was reminded of Scottish lochs and resevoirs and how delightful they are, in sunshine! At this time of year  there are also no 'no-see-um' type insecty things either. (here referring to the notorious Scottish Midge)

We returned to Sadie and out came the blow up canoe for it's first trial run on water. All in all a successful trial with Tanya quite happy to sit between my legs as I paddled away. We made it across to an island just opposite which was OK, but I have to say:  blow up canoe is more toward the kiddies fun end of the scale rather than any serious kayaking ideas.

Back on shore, warm sun, not a soul about as had been the case since our arrival, it's strip off wetsuit which was all I had on, and relax ,nee doze, in new lounger chair stark naked for five minutes.

Yup! You've guessed. I came out of my dozing to the sound of an elderly couple just getting back in their car struggling in the small space to turn it around and driving off again. I did wave to them but I should imagine the encounter has not done a great deal to improve French/UK relationships.

Today is very different with Lac Vasiviere definitely reminding me of Scotland. Waves whitecapping. Rain on and off all day, quite cool and dull. No gorgeous sunset to watch tonight. Oh! And not another sighting of a human being since the traumatised couple wobbled away unsteadily in their little Renault!

And no 3g phone signal either!

Ho hum eh!
