For our excitement and an early view

a flash of orange and azure blue

two kingfishers flashed past from the lake shore

a two second flash of colour and then no more

Today Milou ran

with her mate Taj, I nattered with Jan

the water is very low

muddy banks and hollows, muddy underfoot

they both went in the lake

neither were fit for house or new car boot's sake

A loop around part of the lake from Larroque was our route

before a very convivial lunch

 our atelier at a beautiful house, courtesy of our generous host

where with good food and wine we were all suitably engrossed

It was late when we set off for the lac

walked to the far corner and then turned back

their were joggers and walkers along the track

the heat this afternoon was very intense

so we left it until late this evening...just common sense

Walk today was across in Puntous, before school

very pretty, last night's storms, make it sludgy underfoot 

Milou however likes an early morning hike  

 a beautiful sunrise, cooler temperatures, not much to dislike

We went out to the hillsides of Monleon

full of sunshine and spiritual wellbeing

Milou spooked and barked at a very affectionate ass

i stroked him and tried to get them together...

Milou said she would rather pass

This morning there is a twenty-five kilometre run around the town

past our house, the lake and the countryside around

we picked an old walk we have always adored

because of the race our pathways that twist around fields

have now been restored
