On Friday 21 November I joined les Galoches for a five and a half kilometre walk in 5°C temperatures. We had a bit of sun, a bit of sleet.
An abandoned vine hut (Fr. cabane de vigne). Once upon a time it was next to the Chemin du Cardinal, a track which led from a spring on the slope above, and down to the village below. Now you need some imagination to see the track. The heights of Yzeures sur Creuse, like Preuilly sur Claise, were once covered in vineyards.
The intersection of three départements ('counties'). I'm standing in Indre et Loire (Touraine), looking at Vienne (Poitou) in the distance on the right, and Indre (Berry) in the distance on the left.
A poplar by a dam, covered in mistletoe.
A barn in a hamlet.
A private garden, on a 'balcon' above the river Creuse.
Wisteria (Fr. glycine) pods hanging over a garden wall.
The weather over Yzeures sur Creuse.
