28/10/2017 Official opening to the Salle Communale in Vitrac and a very misty start to the day.

Maximum temperature 16C, minimum 8C.  10 km/h NE winds, 27km/h gusts. 1mm rain measured, very misty.
About 9 am the garden at home...

As above.

10h15 driving down the road...

as above...

Driving through Le Grange...

Driving into Vitrac...

across the bridge into the centre.

The church.

The Salle Communale - Grand opening...

This part of the hall is the original, but we now have the glass doors instead of very high original windows...

Walking through the door is this open construction where we had the speeches followed by champagne and snacks which I forgot to photograph!!  The Committee is behind the mayor (who is talking).  The commune bought the house and garden at the back of the hall which has allowed for all this extra work to be done.  The house itself still needs work done to it

When we left I popped into the church to take some photos, I only had the small camera and no time to fiddle with settings so the windows are not very good...

But you can get the idea.

Back home the garden was still very wet.  The cotoneaster.

  1. Such a beautiful church! I'm glad you and Nigel had a safe trip getting there; that fog is really something.

  3. We just came back from the highlands and 18 deg C was the coldest. From your photos, driving visibility is not very good. Take care.

  6. Hi Diane. More interesting photos. We have been having torrential rain and storms interspersed with cold drizzly weather in Durban for weeks now. Very strange for this time of year or for Durban ever!

  7. I don't mind fog.... but perhaps not for driving in though. It certainly adds a bit of mystic to your photos.

  9. It was a miserable day to be out and about, Diane, so I hope that the grand opening was suitably GRAND and lived up to your expectations - and even if it didn't there was champagne!

    1. When it is wet outside, getting wet inside, especially with good champagne cures the problem :-)))) Have a good week Diane

  10. Not the best of driving conditions yet does make for interesting photos, especially the church.
