On Friday 7 November I went out with the Galoches Bruno, Alain and Martine to walk 5 or so kilometres around Yzeures sur Creuse. Once again it was remarkably warm, at about 18°C.
We always have a few roses flowering, even into December.
A garden wall made of flint (Fr. silex).
The Lombardy poplar we were walking towards was full of roosting starlings.
Spanish Slug Arion vulgaris (Fr. Loche méridionale).
One of the Cavalier mushroom species Melanoleuca sp. I think it's probably the Common Cavalier M. polioleuca, but it might be one of the rarer species. They are very difficult to accurately identify.
A new fitness station, near the swimming pool.
The remains of the public laundry (Fr. lavoir) on the River Creuse. The stones, shaped like an oversized kerb because of their washing slope, would have been at water level. The river has dropped because a weir downstream has been removed.
The grey cygnet on the right is the only survivor from a brood of six this year. The Wels Catfish (Fr. Silure) has got all the rest.
