France – all work and no play?
I’ve just returned from a flying visit to the Midi-Pyrenees to photograph a friend’s Gite. Last time I visited, about 6 years ago, the weather was unpredictably cloudy, so imagine my surprise on Monday morning when I discovered it was cloudy again!
So, being in France, we went for a typically long lunch at a neighbours house…
It was misty and trying to rain on Tuesday, and I began to think I’d upset my personal weather god somehow. I photographed the interiors anyway.
Finally, the sun came out on Wednesday, and I managed to get photographs of the pool and exterior of the gite. I even managed to photograph the swallows using the pool as their personal bath. And finally I managed to use the pool myself, for the two hours I had left before departing for Toulouse airport!
If you fancy a longer break in this beautiful part of south west France, full details (and the old photographs) can be found at the Branche d’Olive web site.
