As you will likely have realised
yesterday's post was a day ahead of its time, but for me the temptation
of showing off such a variety of birds was all too much. It was 13:00
Friday we left Harbins and just 5 minutes later we were starting the
boarding process for our flight to France. Starting any journey that way
is a huge bonus and by 13:45 we were airborne.
Don't quite know how RyanAir managed to get 25 minutes ahead
schedule but by 16:25 'local' we arrived at
in the South of France.
While this chart gives no indication of our
final destination
it was a pleasant enough couple of hours driving past
quaint French villages
and acre upon acre of Sunflowers before arriving at
south and west of the airport.
The Welcoming Committee consisted of this
LIZARD, yet to be identified,
and what is thought to be THE SORCERER (moth) Aedia leucomelas which my learned friend has trapped before in France and
Italy. Think there is only one UK record, with the only confusion species being The
Alchemist. If you see another it should be stunning black and white.
A quick photographic trip around the house and garden
needs little by way of explanation except
when it comes to my bedroom!!
After the fact finding tour, it was most certainly time for dinner
so another short drive to the neighbouring village of
and the
HUGH, MOI, JANET and her mum JOYCE.
BRUNO
Confit de Canard.
I did ask if there was a 'Duck Dessert' which raised a chuckle.
For me Moelleux au Chocolat.
and wandered back to the perfect tranquillity of the house.
The property is owned by the Dampney Family but when not in use
is available 'on lease' to one and all.
