25/10/2017 Join us on a drive to Busserolles for lunch.

Maximum temperature 24C, minimum 10C.  6 km/h SE winds, 13 km/h gusts. Dry.
Just as we pulled out of our road we were met with this and had to reverse back !!!!   Think it was heading up the road to the next hamlet where they were harvesting corn.


First stop was Chasseneuil, a small job to do here....


We then drove through Montemboeuf which you can see in the distance, the sun was in my eyes, but you can see how busy the traffic was in the sky was with vapour trails everywhere.


I tried to pick up some autumn colours here, but still I had competition from the sun!


Man at work.


Arrival at Busserolles, not sure what the flags were up for...


More on the town here when we visited earlier this year.


Inside the restaurant, we would have liked to have sat outside but there was no room...


I quite liked the pictures of musical instruments - different.


Buffet starter which had some delicious choices...


I had a perfectly cooked very rare steak that melted in my mouth, Nigel had chicken which he said was excellent, he had a huge helping but the photo was not very good.


Then came the cheese board with French bread of course...


Followed by dessert - Nigel had cheesecake and I had a chocolate pudding with ice cream also not a good photo!

Great value for money.  Four courses, wine and coffee came to €34 for the two of us.  We will return 😉 Highly recommended but best to book, people were being turned away!

On the way home we stopped at a chateau and I got a good series of photos, but as nothing much planned for tomorrow, I will take you for a short walk in the area then.

14/02/2016 Grey skies but dry so I managed to go out for a walk.

Maximum temperature 9C minimum 3C.  48 km/h W wind gusts.  15mm rain measured this morning. 
Walking through very wet countryside.

Being watched by les vaches....

and le taureau - he is a big lad!

More fire wood.

Do you think someone forgot to open the door before driving in or out!

Interesting sign - Refuge LPO - Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux.
Shelter - League for the Protection of Birds.
Here is nature protection.

Flooded fields...

as above.

Road crossing, thank goodness my new boots are waterproof and they worked!

Old farm implement.

The sun was trying but never quite made it.

06/02/2014 A few odd photos mostly in the house - I do not like wind. Nigel planted the last of the laurels. Goodbye drinks with the Mayor tonight.

Maximum temperature supposedly 16C but feels like 8C. It was very windy though.  3 mm of rain overnight.
All photos taken with the little Samsung L201
