Rainy Sunday At Brehal

Normandy beaches in winter may not always be as gray and rainy as our last week here has been in Brehal on the Atlantic coast of France, but it’s definitely the kind of weather that makes you want to stay dry, cook, and work on some sort of project.

This small video expresses those sentiments on this early December weekend. Just a tiny bit of warning, these videos sometimes take awhile to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient!
 


 
I’ve been craving something home baked for several weeks and these bananas needed to be rescued before they ‘expired’ altogether!

Feeling the need to actually get up and move around after sitting still all day with the computer in front of me, onto the internet I went to search for a recipe for banana nut bread.
 

 
The result? The gas mark on the oven was a bit off (I checked at a gas mark to fahrenheit conversion site and I had actually chosen the correct option with Gas Mark 5 = 375 degrees) and it got a bit too brown a bit too quickly. But yes, it tasted perfectly lovely. Yum!
