Beautiful photos Cro, but a very chilly start to the day. It's very cold here too, and not so pleasant after yesterday's torrential rain. Even the dogs don't seem to want to go out. However warmer weather next week - we're told.
Warm but with a dull, grey outlook. Central heating that you can just switch on is great but I miss the log burner. At least we brought plenty of wine and pate back with us!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. 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!
It is 20c here, dry and strong winds from the east, metaphoricaly and real in the same time.
ReplyDeleteWe keep hearing of the terrible stabbing attacks by the Palestinians. Do stay safe, and be cautious at all times; you never know! Cro x

ReplyDeleteLooks lovely; not so nice to be out in, although Wills and Kellogg were in T shirts later in the day working outside.

Supposed to be much 'warmer' here tomorrow with some rain. It's frosty again here this morning.
DeleteLovely to look at but not so cosy eh?
ReplyDeleteI've had the fire going all night. Much nicer to get up to a warm house.
DeleteBeautiful but brrrr.
ReplyDeleteI expect you're warmer where you are, than here.

DeleteIt seems like you were just putting your pool to bed for the winter.
ReplyDeleteIt's been really wonderful until quite recently, which is why it comes as such a shock. Supposed to be getting better in a few days.
DeleteWinter is saying hello.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.
