Our little house in the distance.
Some wild flowers en route, then home to Plum blossom.
And after all that we had a beautiful and uber-productive day. Wonderful.

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 44 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), a Border Collie/Black Lab' cross called Bok, a cat called Freddie, plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Wonderful - Feeling like autumn here today a slight chill in the air although a pleasant sunny day.
ReplyDeleteThose spring flowers look great.
Beautiful day yesterday. We worked hard from morning till night. Tiring but worth it.
DeleteBeautiful walk. The last two photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful place.
cheers, parsnip
It's particularly nice on a day like yesterday.
DeleteUber is getting everywhere these days.
ReplyDeleteThey drive you mad.
DeleteAww, such lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely day.
DeleteSounds like a perfect day, Cro.
ReplyDeleteWe sat outside in the sunshine until quite late.
DeleteYou sound happy and invigorated Cro...and you live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly seeded like that yesterday.
DeleteCowslips! What is the French name for them?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say glisse-vache, but in fact they're called Primevère; the same as for Primrose.
DeleteBeautiful place you live in, and pretty pictures of the flowers; burst of life and colour. I remember about 2 months ago you were miserable because it was winter and you had to take Bok for a walk in the rain, it seemed like winter would never end. Spring is my best season. Greetings Maria x
ReplyDeleteYes, winter did seem to be going on too long (doesn't it always?). Now we have temperatures up to 20 C, and nice sunny days.
DeleteIsn't it glorious now, when it's sunny that is.
ReplyDeleteLovely, and nice to be able to eat outdoors again.
DeleteThree days to go before we catch our ferry. Can't wait! (Not looking forward to the long grass, weeds and cobwebs though.)
ReplyDeleteI've already mowed three times, so expect longish grass.
DeleteBeautiful. Spring has Sprung!
ReplyDeleteBack to dull again today.
DeleteSpring! Nothing like it to get us out and moving once again.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Back indoors again today; drizzle and dull.
DeleteSpring does inspire energy. Now if I can just get my old bones to cooperate.
ReplyDeleteMine answered the call, but we were both very tired by the end of the day.
