14/09/2017 Join us on a ride to do some shopping.

Maximum temperature 18C,  minimum 12C.  13 km/h cold NW wind with 40 km/h gusts. 16 mm of rain overnight.
Not too far from home...

Sunflowers on the right now dried out.  I guess they are waiting for the rain to stop so they dry properly and can be harvested.
  
La poste here is yellow not red like in the UK.

Crossing the railway line, only 3 trains a day and that could be stopped soon as well!

Narrow French roads.

Brico Leclerc...

and a close up of the reflection

Man at work.  I took these photos while Nigel filled up with fuel.

The local car wash.

Fuel prices are going up again. These prices are €s per litre.

Reflections on the Supermarket sign.
  
Inside this was advertising Leclerc Heyo in store purchasing assistant.  A download for your phone (if you have one!) to check prices, where things are in the shop, and check shopping as you go etc - all beyond me!!  Not sure what the car is for, maybe a prize!

Taponnat-Fleurignac, driving through on the way home.

Back home this solitary bee was on a weed in the lawn.

    1. I always think I may be boring as we do not often go far afield but I do try to take different views. Keep well Diane

  2. I often see photos of sunflower fields in full bloom but I don't think I've ever seen one where they are dried. It reminds me of the purpose of growing sunflowers I guess - the seeds!

    1. Most of our roads in the country are pretty narrow, no fun when large trucks or tractors are coming in the opposite direction and impossible to pass if going the same way!!! Take care Diane

    1. Jo we do not actually live in a town. We are in a hamlet of only 10 houses. Our local village though is beautiful. Take care Diane

    1. The narrow road is a back road and is between two houses, yes it is very narrow, not sure I would like to live in either house though!!
      The rail only has 3 small trains a day and the up keep of the track is very high. The powers that be think that it is not worth the upkeep. The few people who use it are complaining but will it be enough? We shall see. Have a great weekend Diane
