While driving out to the Pointe du Raz in Brittany, we saw many examples of typical Breton coastal houses. They're essentially white with slate roofs. Inland, the styles vary with many houses made of stone, but on the western coast, we saw a lot of these whitewashed houses with chimneys at the gable ends. They certainly stand out against the landscape.
We're in a warm spell right now. Relatively warm. And it's been wet, so not very good for getting outdoor chores done. That may change this week, and there's no shortage of things to do out there. Ken wants to clean out the greenhouse and prepare it for bringing in plants for the winter. I've got some birch branches to cut for burning this winter. And then there's the vegetable garden to deal with.
Those are very interesting houses.
