A memory from a summer holiday. To cheer up the dull winter.

I don't mind winter as long as there is snow and not just watery rain, but wouldn't oppose to seeing those kinds of landscapes either.

I'll post some snow this evening before we start the festivities

Nice,    we need a good cheer up about now.     Just got back from M&S and it was murder,   Luckily though thats the last shops for a while for us,  we're one.

It's still dreary here - that's why I was trawling through some of our summer memories for something cheery.  Capdenac is a wonderful place with lots of happy memories.

Interesting structure - the wall seems to get wider and accommodates chambers inside?

The remains of an old Keep on the hilltop, Seb.

A view from down the hill a little ( It's almost hidden)

Windy but almost full sun here now.    Just got back from what we thought was the final visit before Christmas but alas thats not to be.

That is quite the fortified wall.

Hilltop village with fortifications. You can see for miles from up there

Season's Greetings.

Same,   I took a pano of it eventually,  as holding the P3 still long enough was an issue in the wind.

No doubt a lovely view.    Season's greetings to you and Mrs. B. and your family.

Although Monday was wet and windy, yesterday we actually had decent weather.
Good enough for a good walk, and even a flight of the mini3Pro. The Pocket2 was in action as well.
Back to dull and rainy this morning but noi signs of the threatened storm - yet.

We had some sun in the morning too,  but it soon tuned to rain by lunch time.

It's getting wilder by the minute here - but that's keeping the rain away

The weather can't quite make its mind up this morning.
But I won't be flying the drone in these conditions.

Figeac is the home of the Rosetta Stone ( a copy, set in the floor of a courtyard)

And Capdenac is nearby - claimed to be the prettiest village in France
