Visitors

The autumn sun was out, and the sky a beautiful, vivid blue, it was just a perfect day to show some of our friends around our little ‘coin de France’. We wanted to take them on a walk up into the vineyards, and finish up at the point de vue.

As we strolled, and chatted about our different lives in France, the cranes appeared overhead, and decided to join in with their own chattering. I think the whole village could hear them. They are truly delightful.

Such large distinguished birds, that despite their size are very elegant in the air.

As we reached the point de vue the sun was just starting to set. The air was starting to chill, and we could see the smoke of the wood fires being lit in the houses below. The cranes had flown back to the lake, to settle down for the evening, and all was silent again.

The changing sky always delights me, and the stillness of our little village makes for a beautiful place to live. I can see why the cranes like to visit.
