29/06/2017 A wet garden and quite chilly after the temperatures we have been having.

Maximum temperature 17C  minimum 12C.  31 km/h SW winds 52 km/h gusts. 11 mm rain measured this morning and it has been raining on and off all day.

Went to Chasseneuil this morning. I shopped while Nigel had a physio appointment for his shoulder.

I have never seen the car park to busy especially while it was raining!!!

Yesterday's rose bud today.

Calendula...

as above.

The last of the day lilies.

Young leaves on the grape vine.

Hibiscus.

Buds on the Stargazer Lily.

Blackbird. Think this is a youngster.

Ladybird....

and my reflection on its back :-)

Wasp - in hiding I think!

Today's veggie crop, we are soon going to have lots!!!

14/06/2017 A visit to Chasseneuil to get my hair cut.

Maximum temperature 29C, minimum 16C. 7 kmh NE wind.  3mm measured from last night.

Last time I showed you this new factory was 29 April Things seem to be moving slowly to me, but it is a huge area. Apologies for the light changes, I did not have my wide angle lens with me.

Lots of poppies by the sides of the roads.

I was early so I took a walk around the car park...

The archway is covered in various creepers...

Climbing rose,

Honeysuckle...

Wisteria and others.

On the other corner is one of the wooden carvings surrounded by many shrubs...

I recognised St John's-wort...

But this one I did not know.

The railway station on the other-side is not used as such anymore and it has been restored into flats.

  

Next to it is the local hotel...

and then this gateway.

Just beyond, there are some new shops, sadly the old second hand shop that was there closed down.

On the other-side of the car park is my hairdresser.

Wheat fields driving back home.
