09/09/2016 Nigel out cycling again, I took one photo all day, see the last one which was a drive-by..

Maximum temperature 28C, minimum 10C.  16 km/h NE wind. Very Dry.  Nigel said it was quite chilly when he left home early this morning!
The long straight and narrow road....

Feed for the animals in winter...

while the humans have stocked up on firewood to keep warm.

Why did the chicken cross the road ?

A bit of sun glare, but these little stone built buildings seem quite common, not sure though what they are used for!  Storing something presumably.

Sad to see the sunflowers going over, the seed will be collected very soon.

Water tower at Chez Courrade ...

and at Puygibaud.

Coming home even the bike could not get through here easily and Nigel had to push his bike for some way!!!

They were laying new water pipes...

the digger...

and filling in.

My blurred drive by shot of yet another road hazard while going shopping!!
