JUBBIL in JanuaryThe first meeting of the year for JUBBIL (Jumelage Breton Bilingue) was last Sunday January 24th. We had planned a short walk to sharpen the appetite followed by the traditional Galettes de Roi. In the event of inclement weather (the meteo forecast was for rain) we had ready a list of indoor activities.However the sun shone on us and we enjoyed a delightful walk. We explored the countryside to the east of Gomene and discovered a little of its ancient history.We took the footpath through the woods opposite the lake, towards Les Aulnais. We first stopped to admire two very ancient crosses in the wood, then the 6th century inscription "Ced Parth So" on a menhir above the Château des Aulnais. Finally we admired the façade of the château itself before visiting the lake beside the footpath towards St. Guenaël.We were all ready for the welcoming coffee and warm Gallettes de Roi which we took in the room next to the presbytery in Gomene.As we enjoyed our refreshments the French and English members chatted amiably together. So yet again JUBBIL achieved its aims of sharing
