The Creuse Valley in Southern Touraine

Captured on our walk yesterday where Southern Touraine, home to us for the last 18 years, folds into the valley of the Creuse, the land softens into quiet curves and long horizons.

Here the light lingers across open fields, down wooded slopes, into the meadows by the river.

Calm, timeless and beautifully understated, this is the southern edge of Touraine, where the countryside still keeps its secrets.

If you enjoy walking, you are spoilt for choice here and you could have it on your doorstep.

How green is our valley?

We need this rain...

 

The current wet spell we are experiencing does not do a great deal for our moral during our confinement but as Scots we know more than most that it is what gives us the greens of summer. Yesterday's 'freedom walk' under a grey sky was made bearable by these 'greens' on the valley of the Creuse

Sometimes you just have to stop...
