Friday 10th of October found various choir
members waiting at the Brittany Ferry terminal in Plymouth awaiting the
arrival of our friends from Quimper. This was the culmination of many
months of planning for the Breton choirs' return visit to us. For those
of us that had volunteered to act as hosts it was an anxious time. Would
our guests speak any English as most of us would admit to not speaking
or understanding French.. We need not have worried where there is a will
there is a way!!
Saturday dawned and we could not believe our
luck, the sun was shining in a clear blue sky. Most of Saturday was
spent in or around the Rame Peninsula, a successful lunch at The
Edgcumbe Arms was followed by a walk in Mount Edgcumbe Park.
At four the two choirs met at St. James Church for a
rehearsal,

We then had a wonderful buffet and sing along (thanks to Lynn) at The Council Chambers.
We were presented with a beautiful plaque as a commemoration of the visit.
Sunday was another glorious day. After a visit for shopping in Plymouth, 'A Travers Chants' had a coach tour around Dartmoor before leaving on the evening ferry back to Roscoff.
Michel our guest said (in perfect English) it had been an unforgettable week-end and we could not but agree. Formidable!!!
