14/10/2017 The carry over of photos from yesterday.....

Maximum temperature 25C, minimum 11C. 4km/h SE wind with 12 km/h gusts. Dry.

It is going to be even warmer over the next two days if the forecast is correct :-)

Driving past La Rochefoucald you can see the chateau on the skyline.

One of the streets in Roussines.

L' église Saint-Sulpice de Roussines

The church as above. Sadly it was closed so I could not go in.

It had some great stained glass windows but it was not possible to take photos from the outside.

We were fascinated by the finials on the roof apexes of some of the houses...

See above...

as above.

La Lanterne restaurant...

Tomato, mozzarella, balsamic and pesto starter - very tasty...

Fish and chips on Friday...

Rose wine. I forgot a photo of the aperitif; pineau rouge...

Tarte au citron for dessert.

We plan to meet friends there next Sunday to try out the à la carte menu.

Last but not least, the nurse arrived to give us our flu vaccines this morning.

31/10/2015 Flu vaccinations this morning but forgot the camera! A walk around the garden.

Maximum temperature 22 minimum 9C. 55 km/h SE wind gusts. Dry.

No pink skies this morning but the moon was still saying 'Good Morning'.

Sparrow on the rosemary....

and having a drink.

This was still around and is still an unknown to me.

Warm enough for a young lizard to pop its head out.

Blue skies and vapour trails.

The clover seems to survive whatever the weather!

Still an odd rose bud.

Today's produce from the garden. Chard, topinambour and quince.

Viburnum opulus in autumn dress.

Our neighbours leeks and lettuce.

Shadows Along the Zambezi by Diana M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I so enjoyed this book and towards the end I could not put it down only finishing at 2am! Having lived most of my early life in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, so many places had a lot of meaning to me. Diana’s knowledge of every detail in this book is incredible.
Sadly, so much of this story is fact and very true. It made me cry and at times it made me smile. I hope that it might awaken the world as to what is going on in many African countries, and instead of so many people burying their heads in the sand, perhaps they might stand up and do something. Smuggling and hunting are very soon going to leave the world a very sad place when there are no animals left.
Now I am off to read Shadows over an African Heart.

Shadows Over an African Heart: a novel by Diana M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadows over an African Heart is the perfect name for this book. The shadows are even bigger than I ever dreamt, and this book is a real eye-opener to the truth of what is going on. I was in tears in many places in this book. The fictional side story I so enjoyed, but the true and very sad story of the elephants and other animals; the Zimbabwe government has so much to answer for.
The world needs to read both of Diana’s books and action needs to be taken before the children of today never see wildlife as we have had the joy to grow up with around us.
There are many African words in the story which to me were great to be reminded of, but many are explained as you read and there is a good glossary of the words in the back of the book.
