The old pedestrianised bridge across La Vienne see yesterday.
Looking from the old bridge towards the new bridge built for for vehicles...
and on the other side...
and looking back....
also on the other side the old convent of St Clare. In 1792 that became the local hospital...
Sadly a brand new hospital has now been built...
and this old place is now looking very abandoned...
with over grown gardens hiding the old statues. Last time I saw it in 2012 the place was in working order with immaculate gardens :-((
Walking along by the side of the river, we saw this building with what looked like it had a loading platform at one stage. Long gone and we will never know what it loaded.
Similar photo across the river to yesterday but from a different place.
Before returning home we had a cold drink and a cake at The Irish Belle. Very friendly and the cake was delicious.
Back home the rose is surviving the weather.
Le gendarme beetle or firebug ( Pyrrhocoris apterus)
I just saw this tiny spider on a leaf, I think it is a web spinning spider but I have not idea which one. It was very difficult to see with the naked eye, probably less than 2mm in size.
