Walk-away

When we returned from our shopping trip we suggested to Louise and Chris that I make some ‘jambon beurres‘ and we head out for a little walk and picnic.

Brian suggested a walk we had done recently, and they seemed happy with that.

We headed up through the vineyards, chatting and enjoying the landscape as we climbed. From the top of the first hill we walked over into the village of Loches-sur-Ource, where we sat by the river to enjoy our ham sandwiches with the sound of the birdsong and the flowing water as a backdrop. Such a beautiful setting.

We then headed along the river and up through a wooded area where we could hear some chomping, and came across a rather interesting machine that was clearing the brush land. It was certainly making light work of it, munching the little trees.

We followed the path up through Landreville, then back over to our village. It’s always so pretty, nestled amongst the vineyards.

Louise said that at 10.5km it’s the longest hike they’ve had since being in France. It certainly left us with tired legs, but a well deserved break from garden diy.
