Maximum temperature today 14C, minimum 8C. Rain on and off all day and raining now. 5mm of rain measured this morning; 25km/h South-Easterly winds with up to 49 km/h gusts.
The sunset a couple of nights back which I had not downloaded.
Driving to the restaurant today trying to get autumn colours avoiding reflection on the windscreen and raindrops!...
As above.
Driving back home our neighbours walnut tree.
Arriving at St Sornin. Remember I showed you the pictures of over 800 houses with roofs destroyed during a storm in July, still many are covered with plastic sheeting.....
Some are being worked on...
The restaurant has scaffolding but we were told they still have no date for when work might be done.
The place was packed so luckily we had booked for 4, the two men were celebrating. Jim on the left had his birthday yesterday and Nigel has his on Saturday.
Excellent value €14 each for a 4-course meal including wine and coffee.
The Euonymus back home is showing its autumn colours.
The Acer has silver seeds.
The Stinking Iris (Iridaceae foetidissima) has bright red seeds.
Surprisingly there are still buds on the climbing rose.
The lavender that I grew from seed is still flowering while the old plants were over weeks ago.
Good to see there are still some bees around and a few cosmos for them to collect pollen from....
As above
Last but not least a visitor to the window sill.
Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).
I love the feather definition and the single raindrop on its tail.
