These are some of the streets and paths lead to our village center (called le bourg) which is on the left bank of the Cher river deep into the river valley. They start on the higher ground on the southern edge of the river valley, which is mostly fields and vineyards. Actually where we live is equidistant from the village center and the little town of Saint-Aignan. The village has a population of 1,200 and an area of 12 square miles.
The word for today is moche. I like the word because it sounds like what it means. It's the TéléMatin weatherman who started throw it around this morning, lamenting the fact that the whole country is having awful weather. The only thing I can think to do to dispel the gloom is post some pictures of colorful flowers.
Here's Callie the collie in her element. If you walk out of our back gate and turm right, you go down a fairly steep hill. You then enter the woods and keep going downhill on a path that eventually leads to the village we live in, with its church, mairie, and a few shops and other businesses. The village center is about 1.5 miles from our back gate.
This is a picture of our border collie, Callie. I took the picture in 2010, when when she was just three years old. She passed away in 2017 at the age of 10. We still miss her.
