15/04/2016 A trip to the Dordogne to see friends.

Maximum temperature 18C, minimum 8C.  20 km/h SW winds.  6mm rain measured this morning.
Travelling to the Dordogne through villages...

and forests.

After a fabulous lunch we went to the local dam for a walk, not many people there and it was raining lightly.


There are a number of legends around the dam...

concerning devils and stories of Richard the Lion Heart.

A reminder to keep an eye open for the devil!

I only had the little Samsung camera, but these are still sort of recognisable as Mallards.

Not sure about this - the devil maybe?

A Pied wagtail on the weir.

Looking across the dam....

Can you see the little red building at the end of the dam, the men were waiting for us there.

Wendy hauling us across the dam on the ferry.  It works so well and was remarkably easy.

Walking back I was fascinated by this fallen tree with green leaves shooting.
