Juvigny-sur-Loison

We’ve enjoyed a few bright sunny spells in between many times of dark skies, showers and thunderstorms - although the latter do seem to be lessening in frequency at last.

Yesterday, Monday, afternoon was such and we went for a short drive to Juvigny-sur-Loison, a pretty village tucked into a fold of the surrounding beautiful hills.


It was lovely to sit on the river-bank bench, enjoy the sunshine and flowers and listen to the burbling water.




If it hasn’t already done so, surely this lovely spot should win a village fleurie award as many flowers have been planted - by the roadside where it joins the river bank and some splendid grouping of different sorts of flowers alongside barns and in front of houses.










There was a strange man lurking, smoking a pipe.  Didn't want to upset the natives so I took him home with me! 


I don't think it was his pipe's fault but dark clouds started to roll in again and it was time for tea..

    What a lovely village - I like the shots with all the flowers, and the one of the pots by the door! Not so sure about the strange man, but glad you took him home. . .

    It is very pretty. Those trumpet-like flowers are fascinating! There are times when I'm not so sure about the strange man either! lol Thanks, Alison.
