31/01/2018 Grey skies but sort of dry so we decided to just get out and go for a drive. It was good to take a relaxing break.

Maximum temperature 11C, minimum 5C. Misty but sort of dry!  North Westerly winds; 16 km/h with up to 40 km/h gusts.
  
Just leaving home.

The small village of Yvrac.

The church Saint-Saturnin at Sornin (plus a digger!).

The bridge going into Marillac-le-France.  The two animals on the left are Llamas.  There was a whole field of them.  Wrong side of the car to get a good photo as we drove by!

The Mairie (mayor's office) at Montbron...

also in Montbron.

Leaving the Charente and entering into the next department of the Dordogne.

The 12th century church Notre-Dame de la Nativité at Bussier Badil. This looked like an interesting town, maybe we can plan a proper visit here and look around. No this is not blue sky it was the tint at the top of the windscreen!!

The church at La Tricherie.

As Above

Not sure where this was in the Dordogne but we were fascinated by the leaning chimney!!

Javerlhac.  More windscreen tint!

This was seen in a field all alone.  It looked like it was possibly a private chapel and a very pretty building.

A ghost sign for Peugeot.

Back in the Charente and nearly home looking across the fields.



For those interested I have started a series of photos taken on Nevis in the Caribbean here.  Both Part 1 and Part 2.  More to follow

06/05/2017 Managed few photos from the car despite a dirty windscreen, rain and reflections!

Maximum temperature 16C, minimum 10C.  22 kmh NW wind 38 km/h gusts.   14mm rain measured.
Our neighbours sheep as we leave home.

The church at Montemboeuf,  Dark clouds and a bit hazy.

The sky cleared a little -  Bridge over La Tardoire river.

Welcome to the Dordogne.

Forests of the Dordogne.

Dark clouds driving back home.

Driving through the centre of Montbron...

as above.

And finally our usual road hazard :-)
