ReplyDeleteI am sure it gives you some idea of the differences between here and NSW. Keep well Diane
DeleteI love your photos, makes me want to escape to the land right now! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Pamela for the kind comment and for the visit. We are lucky I can get this sort of view from any walk I do around here long or short. Have a good day Diane
DeleteWhat pleasant surroundings!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Doniene we have a great place around us to walk or cycle. Hope you are well Diane
DeleteHaha, I love the 2CV, that's the car I learned to drive with in my teens... A long-long time ago!
ReplyDeleteTrouts in a dam?
I am surprised, unless "a river runs through", these fish wont survive in still waters!!
I've had violets all winter here, I bet you too!
Keep well Diane, and many thanks for your ever so kind comments :)
Noushka there are rivers and springs all over in this area and they seem to be running all the time. I know it has trout as they used to have an annual trout fishing competition there. It was owned by our last mayor who sadly passed away with cancer and so the fishing competition has come to an end. It not only had ordinary trout in the water but golden trout as well. I gather that the latter was better tasting than the ordinary trout, they must be good as I love trout anyway. Keep well, hugs Diane
DeleteThanks for your reply, Diane.
DeleteWell naturally, if there are rivers and springs it explains it!
Yes trout can be delicious.
Sorry for your mayor.
Keep well, enjoy your day :)
Pastoral and delightful. I was in France a couple of years ago and there is a kind of timeless bucolic quality to the French countryside.
ReplyDeleteWe say it is like living 50 years ago in the country. Things have not changed much over the years. We love it. Diane
