La Hirondelle 94

 

Preparations are underway for the Fete de l’Oignon. A celebration of the Breton ‘Onion Johnnies.’ Who would cross, on the Roscoff ferry. Their bicycles strung about with home grown pink onions. To sell door to door in towns throughout Britain.


It is looking likely that Stargazer will miss the weekend of entertainments. Storm Betty is forecast to pass to our north tonight. Bringing a passage making south westerly, in her wake, overnight Saturday into Sunday. When the tides flow toward Guernsey.


On-line border control formalities have accordingly been completed, with both French and UK authorities. And an invitation duly received, to have my passport stamped, tomorrow morning. Leaving time for a substantial brunch and a nap, before departure.
