Maximum temperature today 10C, minimum 6C. 3 mm of rain measured last night but drizzling all day again. North Easterly chilly winds; 22 km/h with up to 43 km/h gusts.
All photos have been made a little brighter as it was really very grey with light drizzle on and off.
I have put this wall painting on the blog many times before, but it is the first thing we see entering into the tunnel before Angouleme. I just love it.
In the tunnel and then...
sharp right just after; up this very narrow road...
tight squeeze past the parked van, the side mirror was very close!
Underground parking. We collected some new duvets that we had ordered. The old ones we gave to the homeless charity.
Then on to the Thai market which I love. We were short of time though so no chance to browse and fill the trolley, only bought what was on the list!
This old house which I thought had lots of character was opposite the Thai market.
On the road again. Good to see full size trees on a roundabout in the middle of a built up area...
We passed this little outside market...
Note the well pruned trees, they are a bit harsh here in France, but the trees seem to thrive...
Past the old Massey Ferguson depot...
Angouleme centre up on the hill. The dark coloured building behind the tree is the very large enclosed market...
Crossing over the Charente river. Apologies for the windscreen mark....
and stopping at our favourite restaurant for lunch and a glass of wine 👍
Looking up at the building next door...
Heading back home past Eglise Saint Cybard Saint Yrieix, a roman catholic church...
Trucks hogging both lanes of traffic!!!!
Nearly back home, this is the new pallet factory that has been recently finished just out of town...
The last photos I put on while building was in progress was in October last year
Note all the wood piled up on the left.
If you should be interested after an 18 month break from my blog 'My Life Before the Charente' I have at last added a new post 😊
