Well at last the weather has returned to Autumn normality, cold hazy mornings with bright sunshine, warm enough to sit out side for lunch and great for a fire at night!
And so I can get the camera out again! I am a fairweather photographer!
Martin returned home Saturday after a week helping around the house and closing the pool down for winter at Les Cypres. Thank fully the two new ones will both have electric covers and insulated pool houses which will make life easier!
We went out for supper Friday night and came home to find a herd, yes at least 20 Sanglier in the garden (Wild Boar), I think I might get into hunting! Problem is they love eating new plants and we are about to spend quite a lot of money on the garden!
Yesterday, Sunday Karen and I walked to Villars. This is one of the most beautiful months here ( I can't actually think of a bad one!!). The colours are superb and they noise of chain saws is prevalant as farmers trim their cherry and plane trees before Winter.



This is a wonderful example of a plane tree cut back so hard.


Villars is a little under 5 kms from our house. Its a nice walk in the Autumn sunshine and the entrance to the village is lovely.






We have done this walk literally dozens of times and each time I struggle to resist the urge to take two photos! So here they are, each time as the seasons change just a little different.
