Off to the coast - Dinard, Brittany.

Friday of last week we went to Dinard, a beautiful seaside town with wonderful Edwardian houses perched along the coast.

A very fashionable place to live and holiday in the past and still so today.

There is a lovely walk along the coast, looking up at the beautiful old houses.

In the summer there are small blue and white cotton beach tents and large beach umbrellas.

Many of the delightful shops still retain their original frontages and some even have the mosaic steps with their names on. 

Lovely.

I couldn't resist taking some photographs of these flowers outside a little flower shop.

I just love lavender, this one is sometimes called ' rabbit eared lavender ' - you can see why.
