As I suggested on Tuesday's blog, we were expecting a couple of nice days weather. As this could be our last chance of a dry walk in the country, we went out after lunch to explore some of the rural roads that aren't really marked on any map. (The walk is marked here, in green)
We started at the bibliothèque (where we saw the baby orchids) and followed the back road to le Petit Pressigny until we reached the Carroir au Loup (crossroads of the wolf!), then turned on to the rural roads that lead back to the escarpment above Preuilly.
We are really pleased we went out for a walk when we had the opportunity, as yesterday was so-so at best, and today we are forecast rain and/or snow.
The colours are really good, which surprises us. After last week's rain and wind we though that all the leaves would have been blown off the trees, but as you can see from the photos, that isn't the case.I am not sure it will be quite so pretty tomorrow...

It's not that pretty today Simon.... I went over to Loches to get somethings from Lidl... and by the time I got almost to Perruson it was 4ºC & raining.... by the time I left it was 2ºC and sleeting!!

At 2.00pm it was 1ºC in Preuilly, and not really raining, but showing intent.
Don't you love this time of year?
Thanks for the walk plan, we hope to try it sometime.
Stunning pictures, love it. That walk sounded fabulous, thanks for sharing ;)
Anna: The countryside around here is lovely in any season (and nicer than some more well-known places that are just wall to wall grape vines...)
