Full day...

And they're off...

As it was a lovely day yesterday we popped over to the brocante the La Roche Posay racecourse

Managed to resist buying anything...even this fellow.

We were propelled towards  this unusual nautical table but again resisted.

 If you haven't tried 'a day at the races' then you should...at least once as it is a good day out...it's small but perfectly formed. Below are this season's meeting dates.

Back home for lunch then off to our second brocante of the day at Antoigné which is a village that appears to have been gobbled up by Châtellerault and lost its identity...we would never really knew the place other than seeing a sign off the D21.

It was big with hundred of stalls...

but again managed to resist what they had on offer, though these boots seemed to have an attraction.

 Then it was over to help Colin celebrate a birthday milestone at Braye sous Faye where we had good company and the usual splendid hospitality from Elizabeth into the early evening..

Church on Sunday...Braye-sous-Faye

This Sunday wecan bring you St John the Baptist church in Bray-sous-Faye just outside Richelieu courtesy of Colin & Elizabeth who were kind enough to get us the keys to this normally locked church when we were over for a visit last week. You can see more detail on my Loire Valley site where I will be featuring (in time) my previous 'Church on Sundays'
