Wednesday's short walk - on track at Ligueil.

On Wednesday David took us back to Ligueil and the walk that includes some of its old railway track..We were blessed again with a lobely autumnal day.

The route took ua around étang des Chétauderies

Love this pigeonniere conversion that we passed.

Two aspects of the former railway track,a straight section and a gentle  curve that takes you back into the village.

 

Monday's short walk around Charnizay

On Monday Simon led us on a short walk around the village of Charnizay. We were blessed with a fine morning,if a little wet underfoot!

There was a moment of uncertainty when we appeared to have missed a turning which meant a debate about how to get ourselves back on the correct path.

It did not seem obvious but after an advance party was sent out (Simon & Pierre) it was decided that we had to tackle the jungle in front of us.

It was good to be back on Simon#'s planned route.

He took us up this stunning tree-lined driveway which deserved a chateau at the end of it but what we got was this manoir in need of a great deal of TLC.

This house has been given the attention that is needed and one had to admire its roof terrace.

Back to the village centre and a little history from Simon who informed me he had not in fact visited inside the church here - if he wants he can check it out here on my website

Wednesday for windows...in with the geraniums.

 

It is time to winter the geraniums so here is a last look of what for Touraine is a typical window display.

Returning to our road-trip... Cordes-sur-Ciel

After visiting Albi on our recent trip we headed over to the pretty hilltop village of Cordes-sur-Ciel which had been recommended by a friend - and we are so glad we did, it was quite stunning!

Welcome to November in Barrou.

 

Hope it is as good as last year.

Last night's sky over La Creuse...

 

Mon banc dominical / My Sunday Bench - early morning at our Barrou bench.

 

A bit of 'Old Hat' in Chauvigny.

 

Had fun last night with Dominique as 'Old Hat' at the Crêperie - La Bigorne in Chauvigny, lovely ambiance and support by good friends.
