churches, rain and wildlife

not necessarily in that order...

being Sunday, not much open. we decided to go to Jumilhac, the nearest village, which has a chateau - owned by the family that began it, pretty well - they repurchased it in 1927 and have had to do it up big style (with help from the state, I gather).

the Church next door originates probably in the 11th century (that's the 10's...)

then we went to Saint Yvrieux a few miles away for a rather posh lunch - could have gone home, but didn't really want to despite being hungry!

got wet. after lunch, another church! then back to the ranch and I groomed the horses and we read and then went for a late walk

the view from our walk
and a sample of the local wildlife...

Tomorrow is Bastille Day - all France is on holiday. we thought we'd go for a longer walk (there's a circular one starting pretty much here) - hope i survive it! lots of hills.

and I MUST find a dentist when they open on Tuesday, that's if the tooth doesn't fall out before then!
