At Hennebont was stopped at the Office de Tourisme to find out where the camp ground was. It was still closed so we rang up a local chambre d’hôte and booked in for the night. As we were crossing the square we heard a voice saying “Hello Sally and Don”. Sally does a perfect imitation but I cannot describe it in words. The lady was very excited and waved her hands around vigorously while all the time she wore a smile a mile wide. We admitted defeat and told her recognised the face but could not remember her name.
It was in fact Nadine, who had stayed at our house (in NZ) mid February as a warm showers guest. After she left us she went on to
stay at Mandy and Brett's and paint a mural on one of their walls. She had in fact sent us an email which jokingly said she would bump into us in France! She was in town to organise an organ for Sebastian to play to practice for his concert in Melbourne later this year. Talk about globe-trotting artists!
Later that evening she came around to visit us at the chambre d’hôte and we chatted the evening away. We also skyped Mandy but ended up sending a video message instead. Mandy was a bit surprised to say the least.
