Today was a prescribed day of rest for Catherine and I acquiesced readily as I have picked up a cold and was happy to be idle.
For lunch we dined on a hearty steak in the village. After, we wandered aimlessly through this delightful town. The majority of the streets are only wide enough for one small car - campervans etc. are certainly a no go!
As you will see from the photos below, houses open directly onto the street but residents manage to find the smallest of spaces to have a few flowers or pots.
The local council add to the colourful landscape with potted petunias everywhere.
As a point of interest there is no rubbish collection. Large enclosed receptacles are dotted throughout the village and resident must deposit their own rubbish here (including separating recyclables).
Today's photos, the usual high standard from Catherine, were actually taken on my newly purchased small digital camera. I had trouble with the battery on my old one so upgraded. As Catherine did not take her usual whizz bang professional camera, she used mine. It just goes to prove that it's not the camera that produces the master shot, but definitely the operator. This is something that Catherine has been telling me for many years as I always blame the camera for my poor photos. As she says, it amazes her that anyone who can produce such beautiful paintings with great composition cannot frame a simple photograph! It's all so easy, she says.
