Just spent a lovely half hour catching up on your travels. I now speak French! Wonderful photos and good to know all is humming along. Some beautiful sights. Laughed at the mole photo as our Ray has just returned from the Creuse (spelling?) and he sent us a picture of the mole holes in the lawn where he was staying. Stay safe and keep peddling. xx laurel [Laurel]
