Getting the Once Over

A week or so ago we had dinner with our friends Tim and Carolyn at their place in Amboise. We parked right outside their house, a listed building and B&B which sits between the Chateau of Amboise and the Loire River, and I thought it would be amusing to photograph Claudette from upstairs. This is the sight that greeted Simon as he leant out the window with the camera. Classic cars attract attention wherever they go and people are particularly delighted to see iconic French vehicles in working order out and about on the roads. These two women had a good nose around Claudette, peering in the windows and admiring her for several minutes before they walked on.

Those of you used to more equatorial latitudes may be interested to know that this photo was taken at 9.20 pm.
