Stepping out...

We are working on our staircase and backdoor exit at the house  which until now was perfectly usable but not as we wanted it.We had a mismatch of tiles and some rotten floorboards.


A friend gave me some replacement tiles and after after cutting back the boards we have a new exit and are now working on the staircase itself.

From Sunday's wee walk around the village.

 

Loved the candy floss sky we had yesterday for our walk around the village. It provided a lovely backdrop to our favourite terraces.


Not sure Wordsworth would have been inspired but pretty just the same!

Clouds were gathering as we finished our walk ready for another weather change which are too frequent at the moment.

Weather to walk or not...

Yesterday we decided to walk to Barrou and back and take in lunch at les Tilleuls. We were a wee bit unsure as to the weather as the forecast was predicting rain for the afternoon. We decided that it was worth the risk and as we headed over all was looking promising.


As we arrived in Barrou it was good tocsee that spring was on its way.


Had lunch then made a little detour along the Creuse to see if they had tried to do anything with the rear garden at 'Le Bourg', sadly not! We then had a little chat with old neighbours which meant that the bad weather was just a bit ahead of us.

We almost made it back to La Guerche but those little diversions probably were enough to cause us to be caught out!

Not taking offence...

 

As we do our wee walks around the village we have to pass many barking 'guard' dogs some of which we are more than happy that there is a fence between us and them and others that we are less fearful of!

Following your nose...

On our wee walk around the village yesterday,we are staying out of the high ground until it gets drier, we decided to explore a track we had seen a young lady jog along that we had never used. 

After 15 minutes we came to a dead end with the track having taken us along to a private little oasis within the woodlands.

When you seethe woods bordering it you can imagine the hard work taken to create this piece of tranquility.

We of course could not enjoy it as it was very 'private' so we headed back with our nosiness having provided us with an extra 30 minutes of exercise, so not totally a wasted trip!
