Prayers, Pancakes and Paintings

pancake-flippingMy Featured Blogger this week is Colin, the creator of Bonjour From Brittany. I know little about my friend Colin, except that he lives in Kalon Breizh in “the Heart of Brittany” and is a history and tourism aficionado.

His blog site is a beautifully-written source of facts, stories and legends about this gorgeous region of France. Brittany has its own unique culture and ancient Celtic language (although most Bretons speak French nowadays). It also lent its name, and much of its DNA, to a little place called Great Britain.

  1. Thank you for doing me the honour of sharing this! I very much appreciate your kind support! I live almost in the centre of Brittany and have always loved history, folklore and quirky superstitions, so, the blog seemed to write itself 😉 Best wishes, Colin 🙂

  2. I love the artwork!

  3. Thanks for sharing! My son learned about la Chandeleur in his French class yesterday and, in classic teen fashion, mentioned when it was almost bedtime that his teacher had offered extra credit for a picture of students eating crepes at home that night. Well, of course we went ahead and made a quick batch and learned all about the day.
