Maximum temperature today 14C, minimum 6C. Rain most of the day, not measured as yet; 8km/h North Easterly winds with up to 19 km/h gusts.
Far too wet to garden, and not enough light to paint! The sellers of the barn spent most of the day here sorting out the things that they need to dump, sell or keep, while Nigel helped and moved our things out of the way. I took a trip to town and to the market, spending the afternoon mostly in the kitchen.
Umbrellas at the market...
Fresh vegetables...
Oysters for lunch.
The choisya ternata yesterday, hope the rain does not do too much damage!
Apple blossoms also yesterday.
Last week driving through La Rochefoucauld and looking up at the chateau.
The same day an avenue of plane trees.
Going back a few days, we went here to try and buy both cognac and pineau...
All we found were lots of cows....
and a lot of bull!!! Not a person anywhere in sight....
They must be good cattle as there was evidence of prizes all over the place. Sadly we left empty handed!!
What a beautiful way to end the dismal day at just after 19h00 this evening.
N.B. My new bird blog is HERE
Part 6 of the birds I saw last year in Africa.
