River dressing...



As I mentioned on our post on last Sunday's brocante at Vicq-sur-Gartempe its location adds something to the day. The river Gartempe here is quite stunning.



One of the things we notice on rivers around here is the build-up of white froth that tends to gather -pollution of some sort perhaps?


On closer inspection, it is the complete opposite with nature providing us with a carpet of river flowers -beautiful!
