12/12/2015 A trip to Chasseneil.

Maximum temperature 14C, minimum 4C. 18 km/h SE wind. Dry. Inside the greenhouse the temperature went up to 38C so I do not really believe the 14C !!

I wondered what had been eating the sorrel - caught in the act!!

The plants are confused - blossom on the Japanese quince, and buds on the cherry and the fig trees

Seen in Chasseneuil today....

and the whole doorway.

The war memorial.

The boulangerie, we were late, so not a lot left.

The bag and shoe shop...

as above....

also as above.

In the window at the tabac...

as above.

and out side the florist.

The promised photos of the Christmas Fair will go on tomorrows post as we will be doing boring jobs like packing!!!

The French have a way of making such festive window displays understated and not crass at all. Lovely old town house... well renovated, that would make a nice home.

Shadows Along the Zambezi by Diana M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I so enjoyed this book and towards the end I could not put it down only finishing at 2am! Having lived most of my early life in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, so many places had a lot of meaning to me. Diana’s knowledge of every detail in this book is incredible.
Sadly, so much of this story is fact and very true. It made me cry and at times it made me smile. I hope that it might awaken the world as to what is going on in many African countries, and instead of so many people burying their heads in the sand, perhaps they might stand up and do something. Smuggling and hunting are very soon going to leave the world a very sad place when there are no animals left.
Now I am off to read Shadows over an African Heart.

Shadows Over an African Heart: a novel by Diana M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadows over an African Heart is the perfect name for this book. The shadows are even bigger than I ever dreamt, and this book is a real eye-opener to the truth of what is going on. I was in tears in many places in this book. The fictional side story I so enjoyed, but the true and very sad story of the elephants and other animals; the Zimbabwe government has so much to answer for.
The world needs to read both of Diana’s books and action needs to be taken before the children of today never see wildlife as we have had the joy to grow up with around us.
There are many African words in the story which to me were great to be reminded of, but many are explained as you read and there is a good glossary of the words in the back of the book.
