Well another
wet day, but the Pickwells are nothing if not resilient and so another good day
has been had. When, dear reader, you
consider going on holiday, I suggest you consult with us to make sure we are
not going at the same time. May in Italy/France
2013 goes down in legend. May in
Scotland 2015; well suffice it to say we had snow!!! (and May is the best month
in Scotland don’t forget). In 2011 I
want to the Sahara in May – it rained!!
Say no more. Still, whist having
coffee in a bar in Le Rozier this morning we watched TV reports of the floods
in Northern France, reminiscent of England last December, so we are lucky!!! One may ask why we insist on going away in May; but as everyone knows it's the best month of the year. We began and ended our day with exploration
and coffee in Le Rozier/Payreleau and at the top end of the Jonte Gorge at
Meyruis. In between we explored the
fabulous high plateau of the Causses Meyjean and yet more orchids. I finally unleashed the canon 7D and 150
macro, which, although heavy for my aging frame, does produce the goods and I
finally got orchid pictures that I am pleased with. More to come tomorrow.
