Sorry that there haven't been any posts since last Wednesday, technical issues I have been running Beta test software on my Macbook ( geek thing!) and I had a stability issue with my photos, the next software drop has resolved it so I am back.
A lot of people have asked me why we have decided to move to this part of France, well today we visited our local castle at Crozant, I had driven there last week which was why there was a picture of the castle last Wednesday. As Sharron was back this weekend I decided we should explore..
The castle sits on a granite outcrop at the confluence of the rivers Creuse and Sedelle
It was built by supporters of King John ( yes, that one) but swapped sides tho support the French king.
The valley is know locally as the valley of the painters.
It was 30 c as we were walking around, I can't imagine what it must have been like building it, of climbing the towers in chain mail.
As I mentioned in my nature notes at the top of this piece we saw a 'Scarce Swallowtail' butterfly, Sharron was quick enough to get a couple of pictures.
