I had to put together a choice of photos to go with some text for a community magazine who requested some info on the Association de botanique et de mycologie de Sainte Maure de Touraine. I'm on the committee and one of the people in charge of communications (mainly because I've got lots of pictures -- someone else provides the words in French). So here we are in action over the course of a few years.

Opps I've dropped my contact lense somewhere here!!!
Susan, you ought to get them to come and study all the lichens here... I keep finding ones that are different.... and I have no Idea where to even start!
Le Pré: you really need Marie-Claude to visit.
Colin and Elizabeth: LOL. We go about the countryside searching for lost contact lenses.
Isn't Marie-Claude one of your botanising group?
Le Pré: yes, sorry, misread your previous comment. So yes, I could suggest an outing to your place if Marie-Claude wants a site in the autumn.
