Monday's walk around Le Grand-Pressigny.

 

This morning's walk.

After missing yesterday's organised walk we did the La Guerche to Barrou one this morning. We passed by these once-bright sunflowers now with their heads hang heavy and dark, stalks bowed by the weight of the season’s end. Before we went out we checked the forecast which implied we would get back before any rain. It lied and we got caught in a shower at the halfway point so came back a wee bit drookit for the second week in a row.

Back on the road again...

We did our first real walk (7km) yesterday since the current heatwave started and although it was a bit misty but with the temperature at 20 deg. it was ideal.

The sun started to break through as we returned to La Guerche and as we passed a rather sparse field of sunflowers we noticed they seemed to have survived the drought rather better than some we have seen.  

There was also some unexpected flourishes of colour.

A walk to Barrou...

 

We had to go over to Barrou yesterday to pass on some news to a former French neighbour of ours so decided to make it our walk for the day. It was a lovely morning and the peace was only spoiled for a couple of minutes by two fighter jets passing overhead.
