A bed of roses...

New fan light in place!

Rue Longue in the evening

Todays morning walk...

I tried a different route today and had a very enjoyable walk.

The forest here is part of the national park and it is growing naturally 

with no human intervention and logging is of course forbidden.

It's very dry here due to hot weather and lack of rain sadly. 

Some wildflowers seem to tolerate the dry soil. 

Nothing bette than a relaxed bath after a long walk!

A fan lamp for the kitchen!

I have ordered this fan lamp for the kitchen, I think it will be perfect!

Flowers outside my house

Flowers outside my house, I wonder who put them there...

August trip to Auzon

When you travel from Paris to Auzon the journey starts here.

Train from Paris to Clermont-Ferrand takes approximately three and a half hours.

Then it's a local train to Brassac which takes about forty minutes.

Finally a car journey of 20min to Auzon.

It was very very hot but good to be back!

Back in a familiar place!

It's the walnut season and they grow everywhere! 

It was very hot and dry but still a few lovely flowers around... 

Grapes...

I had some wine left from my last trip and it was time to enjoy...
