08/02/2025 - 15 years of blogging today..... 08 Feb 2010 - 08 Feb 2025

   The maximum temperature in the Charente today is 7⁰C, minimum -1⁰C. Rain is forecast for the next few days and it is raining as I type this. A 22km/h southwest wind with gusts up to 39km/h.  Snow is forecast for many parts of France but hopefully, it will miss us!

My very first blog ever is HERE if you should be interested!!

N.B. Joyful (Snap That) was following me then and is still following me. Thanks Penny for your continued interest, it is much appreciated.

I am now up to date with recent photos.  With our cancelled holiday and the mostly rubbish weather at home, good photos are not so easy to come by.
