I am not a spider fan, though the flat wall spiders we had in Africa never worried me. It is a very pretty village, but sadly has no shops not even a boulangerie anymore, those days are long ago! I even managed to win one game of scrabble yesterday, a rare occasion when I had letters that just fell into place with high scores!!

LOL! I don't mind spiders (well, the smaller ones found in homes, because they usually eat other bugs), but the centipede...well, since it is an enemy of my spider 'friends', it hasn't quite warmed up to me yet. I love the village and the white butterfly is lovely! Love the birds, too! I love to play Scrabble but even though I am fluent in French I have never played it in any other language than English. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-28008968710910072922017-07-12T03:55:21.575+02:002017-07-12T03:55:21.575+02:00Hoopoe is indeed a wonderful bird.
