Join us on a drive to Villebois Lavelette.......

Maximum temperature today 21C, minimum 9C.   Dry; 5 km/h North winds with up to 10 km/h gusts.
No surprise, as soon as we are on the highway - roadworks...

As above.

Leaving the highway, I could not believe how green everything was...

As above.

Green and yellow of winter wheat and rape.

Golden fields of rapeseed.

Apologies for the reflection on the windscreen, but I just loved the carved stonework over the barn door.

Logging.  I gather the forests are very well managed in France and in fact, they are getting bigger rather than smaller.

Saint Catherine, we have never been through this town before and it looked a lovely place.

Dignac, (sigh) more roadworks.

Still cannot believe all this greenery.

Almost at Villbois Lavelette...

The chateau and the church up on the hill.

To be continued as we walk around the town and I take photos of this historic place.


N.B. My new bird blog is HERE 
Part 6 of the birds I saw last year in Africa.

02/03/2013 We went for a loop drive today and took too many photos!

We were threatened with a maximum temperature of 14C today but they got it wrong!  Maximum was in fact 7C and it felt like 1C  - they really got it wrong!!









As I am very tired, and we plan a quiet day tomorrow, I will cheat with the diary and stretch today's photos into tomorrow!!
