Second May knitting retreat - Days 2 and 3

Second May knitting retreat - Days 2 and 3

The weather has been wonderful with warm sunny days and a gentle breeze, the swimming pool has been used every day and we have been taking the dogs out just before dusk every evening.
On Tuesday some of us went to Royan for the day.
We started with a visit to the yarn shop Bleu Framboise
