I especially love the animals from metal, the mouse and the protea. Looks like a great trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan there are some great African artists around and I particularly like that Protea I do not remember seeing one like that before. All going well so far 😊 Hugs Diane

DeleteCoucou Diane,
ReplyDeleteBelle série. J'espère que tu profites bien du voyage.
Il ne pleut toujours pas dans les Charentes. C'est très inquiétant pour le printemps.
Bisous
Coucou Nathailie,
DeleteNous faisons un super voyage, il y a tellement de choses à voir,
Nos prévisions indiquent qu'il pleut autour de Chasseneuil-sur-Bonnieure donc j'espère que notre jardin n'est pas sec.
Bisous.
From your superb photos, Diane, that place looks fabulous. You certainly found yourselves a room with a view! The wildlife around you is wonderful, and the scrap metal art is to die for. I'm so pleased that you are having a great time.
ReplyDeleteAll continues to improve here.
My very best wishes to you both - - - Richard
Glad to hear there is an improvment there. So much to see here but a lot is beyond what my camera can cope with, Just too far away. Keep well and best wishes to you both. Diane
