On The Rails
Posted on November 19, 2020
Cee Neuner (what would we ever do without her?) has started a new weekly challenge: Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge – hereinafter referred to as CMMC.
For the first topic she has challenged us to post an image that contains an item in one of her own photographs. The one she chose featured a fence, which gives me an opportunity to post this photograph of a spider’s web spun between two railings of a fence by the river Vienne in Chabanais.

And Madame does make exceedingly good cakes….

Monday Window: Le Dorat
Posted on November 9, 2020
Quite a contrast in the state of repair of the windows – not to mention the roofs – of these adjoining buildings in the Place Collègiale in Le Dorat.
As I recall, that boulangerie did a mean pain aux raisins.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 45 Musical
Posted on November 7, 2020
‘Musical’ is the theme for Week 45 of the Smartphone Challenge, so here is a detail from the electric keyboard that our grandsons use when they are staying with us:

As it happens, the theme for Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is ‘Music’, so this post will apply for that too.
Who says men can’t multi-task?

The Purple Peacock
Posted on November 4, 2020
Purple and violet are the key colours in this wall-hanging of a peacock, quilted by Madame and now taking pride of place in our daughter’s new home.
