At the end of August 12 teenagers from Tarporley, plus 2 supervisors, travelled to Bohars for a week of activities and cultural exchanges. They stayed with local families and the program included a visit to Ménez-Meur nature reserve, wakeboarding in Saint-Renan, bowling, climbing and zip lining; and swimming in Bertheaume Relecq-Kerhuon.

Carnival 2015
This year we had a stand at the carnival and it was a great success with our combined selling of delicious cakes and telling people about the Twinning Association. We hope to get a few new members as a result.
We also took part in the parade; on food this time. maybe next year someone can loan us a Citroen 2CV?

Visit to Stretton Mill
We took our French guests to Stretton Water Mill. West Cheshire Museums were able to provide a French-speaking guide.
The group learned (mostly in French) about how flour was milled in past centuries. One of our visitors, Pierre, was particularly interested as he is a retired miller himself, albeit in a more modern flour mill in Brittany.
Had it been a sunny day we could have sat on the benches by the lake afterwards – but the weather wasn’t so good and we were obliged to retire to the Cock O’Barton for drinks!
Visit from Bohars
Last weekend we hosted a group of visitors from Bohars, and had fun showing them some of the local sights. More of that in a later post, but for the moment here’s a photo from our celebration dinner at Willington Hall.
