11/02/2016 Grey and overcast, Nigel took most of the photos for me when he went to Chasseneuil.

Maximum temperature 9C minimum 2C.   28 km/h SE winds. 3mm rain measured.
One of 3 lavoirs in Chasseneuil. More info on what is a lavoir here.

The back of the lavoir with a wood carving to its left.

La Bonnieure, usually a quiet little river....

but now very full after all the rain.

You could almost put a boat in the ditches at the moment!

The carving is one of many around the town worked by Canadian artists. More info here.

The wall of the local florist.

Much activity outside the new Lidl and all parking banned at present....

As above...

Landscaping in front of the shop. It will look great when the trees grow,

Neighbour's tractor down the road where we live. Our house has the green shutters on the left.

Dehydrating, 2 large pumpkins and 3 bags of frozen cherries.  So much easier to store.

Roasted pumpkin pips, yum yum.

Caramel cake before icing.
