Saturday morning market in Chasseneuil...
as above.
Our chemist's shop has just been totally refurbished and has had a face-lift outside. So much smarter inside and out!
This is the main road through Chasseneuil; we enter the town from the road on the left
Coming into the main road from our direction - there used to be traffic lights here, but they stopped working 5 years ago! Then the whole town was bypassed, taking away the endless queues of heavy lorries.
Now it looks as if there is a (small) new roundabout being added - can you see the painted circle on the road in red?
Market day means oysters for lunch with cider - yum yum.
The only shot I got of this rainbow out of the back door before it faded.
A little later the setting sun...
As above.
If you are interested Part 3 of our holiday in South Africa is up and running on my other blog.
Great sunset - they are getting a little earlier each day, and the mornings are cooler. When I left for the mist nets at 6:15 this morning it was a mere 4 degrees.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right the sunsets are getting earlier and the morning so much darker :-((( We are feeling the drop in temperature and really neither of us enjoy the cold!! Cheers Diane
DeleteI enjoyed seeing Nigel's trip to market, Diane, and your sky photos are stunning!
ReplyDeleteStrange how sometimes they skies are so red at night and others they are so yellow as last night. Not sure what causes the change. Take care and have a good week Diane
DeleteOh, those photos of the sky are awesome, and beautiful, Diane.
ReplyDeleteI love oysters, but they need to be cooked just a bit. LOL
Hope you and Nigel are enjoying the weekend.
xoxo
We love oysters as well but we both prefer raw to cooked which makes my life in the kitchen very much easier!!
DeleteSpectacular sunset last night and I managed to catch it just right.
Hope all is well with you, stay safe Diane
Hoping that you are staying above water! Take care.
ReplyDeleteNo water problem here, we are on high ground. The garden still can do with more rain we have not had as much as we normally get yet. Cheers Diane
DeleteThose oysters look delicious and I bet they are simply divine paired with cider. I do love local markets, especially where you can get local produce directly from the farmers. Looks like things are started to cool down a little, and, what stunning colours in your sky shots.
ReplyDeleteFresh oysters from the market is our favourite but we do not always get down there early enough on a Saturday!! Yes defiantly cooling down, back to wearing jumpers again!! Cheers Diane
DeleteA lovely town Diane and I liked seeing the marked. I used to love walking around the ones at home.
ReplyDeleteThe markets here are amazing, we love them. Take care Diane
DeleteLove, love the buildings in your village! Wow! A gorgeous sunset!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Doniene I love the sunsets we get here but they seldom can beat a South African sunset, they are very special. Take care Diane
DeleteMarket days are so much fun, even here it's lovely to buy fresh fruit and veg while also looking forward to a tasty treat đ Beautiful skies Diane and I enjoyed reading part 3 of your South African trip, looking forward to part 4 where you head to my old stomping grounds Zambia.. the Victoria Falls are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, I agree markets are fun though we seldom buy fruit or veg as we have so much of our own. Glad that you are enjoying our African trip. Take care Diane
DeleteHi Diane. What wonderfully clean, litter free streets. Very different here as you know,
ReplyDeleteThe first thing we noticed when we went to RSA earlier in the year was the rubbish and plastic bags, we had forgotten how bad it is there and how clean it is here!!! Take care. Cheers Diane
DeleteI dislike roundabouts but sure do like those gorgeous skies.
ReplyDeleteI prefer roundabouts to lights. At least you con go when the road is empty and not wait for the lights to change :-) Trouble is when busy, people do not indicate and then you waste time waiting! It is getting quite chilly here despite those skies which are now grey! Cheers Diane
