22/05/2016 Very wet day. Out for a walk last evening. .

Maximum temperature 16C minimum 8C.   43 km/h NW wind.  26mm rain measured this morning. Rain most of the day.

I went for a walk yesterday late afternoon so this post is 24 hours late!

I love these forest walks.

Campion I think.

Post Red squirrel, it was gone before I lifted the camera but I loved the hanging creepers.

Montemboeuf in the distance.

Two well cared for horses in a steep paddock.

Well, used now as a post box.

A mystery hole in a wall - drainage of some kind?

The Lavoir at Le Grand Jauniat.  

(Where the washing used to be done before the days of washing machines!)

I will never get used to post and telephone boxes not in red!

Bee on the borage - again.

Choisya ternata.

Must have been some pollination going on as I see we have baby granny smith apples :-)

Even the snail is in his house out of the rain!

Snapdragon.

Sweet William.
