These mushrooms have suddenly popped up amongst the lemongrass in our serre (greenhouse). And, of course, mushrooms are fuNgi.
The subterranean church
Posted on August 25, 2022
In the picturesque village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, in the Charente region, is to be found a subterranean church, carved out of solid rock. Originally, in what must have been a major feat of both architecture and engineering, it was dug out from beneath the local chateau, which no longer exists.
They call it a church, but in terms of sheer scale it could easily pass for a cathedral.
Hydrangea – A closer View
Posted on August 5, 2022
It’s macro week in Cee’s midweek challenge, so let’s take a closer look at the hydrangea from my previous post.
Hydrangea
Posted on August 4, 2022
The theme for the Fun Foto Challenge this week is something that reminds us of nature’s beauty.
I seem to recall from my distant days as a Philosophy undergraduate that there is quite some debate as to whether ‘beauty’ exists anywhere other than the eye of the beholder. However, it’s hard to argue against the view that this hydrangea – a recent addition to our garden- fits the bill on this occasion.

If you’re wondering what museau de porc is, let me enlighten you: it’s pig’s snout.
I am not making this up. Or eating it.
Can’t Go Wrong With Raindrops

Captured on the wet morning of a recent coach trip, you just can’t go wrong with raindrops on flowers, can you?
Raising a smile

For her Fun Foto Challenge this week, Cee is looking for an image that will bring a smile to your face. So how about this photo of our grand-daughter crawling on the grass for the first time ever?
June’s Last photo

Yesterday we went on a coach trip. It rained all morning – although fortunately it cleared up later – and at the side of the road I saw this foxglove, complete with raindrops.
The Thames, Near Barnes Bridge
Posted on June 24, 2022
Hard to believe, but this is the River Thames at Barnes. As the crow flies, it’s only a few miles to the very heart of the city, but it could be a different world. You don’t want to know how much the houses cost around here.
