Edith & John come to visit (1)













This September will mark the 40th anniversary of my start at Bingley College of Education and it is amazing how many friends we've kept from that pre-decimal, black-and-white era. All that is a long-winded way of saying Edith & John finally came to see us in our new home!

The weather wasn't perfect La Tranche weather but it slowly improved and we managed to get out and about. Photo 1 is on the new wooden promenade near to Le Pavillon. Photo 2 was taken after visiting La Rochelle, taking a short cut back to the car park. We have finally managed to grow a hollyhock from seed and next year it will hopefully be as tall as these!

The rest of the photos were all taken at Bourgenay where there is a mysterious air to the trees. I'm sure they wander about when no-one is looking!
