Out & about

Oh dear, it's catch-up time again. Looks like I'm going to be busy for a while catching up on our exploits!

As I have already said we have been getting out and about recently exploring the local area by following a great book of walks. The first photo was taken near St Benoist where the farmers were busy ploughing the land, and the birds very happy with their surprise meal.

Next we spotted these two storks in a field not far from La Grière. I can't remember when they start nesting, probably in the spring, but I hope to get photos of the local nest on top of a telegraph pole once it is occupied. Recent windy weather has nearly destroyed last year's nest but the storks will be back, that's for sure.

The next two photos were taken minutes apart near to the jetty when we had a very high tide. I'm afraid I failed to capture a big wave breaking over the jetty but it was very impressive sight with lots of other people enjoying the spectacle.

Every few months or so we get a catalogue delivered containing household, garden & D.I.Y. materials. You decide if you wish to purchase anything and a couple of weeks later a big vehicle arrives opening up it's side to let business commence. This was in Angles and Tine is somewhere hidden in the queue!

Another walk (this time around La Jonchère) produced the final two photos. Churches in the villages around here all seem to have their own individual features and this one is certainly impressive. I think we disturbed the cow who was very happy to return to her grazing!
