It was bright and sunny but, as we got ready to go out, the sun disappeared behind grey clouds. We realised rain wouldn’t be far behind so decided on a quick outing, heading up through the pretty countryside around Reville-aux-bois, up through forested hills and down to Sivry-sur-Meuse in the valley. We parked by the river, sat on a bench and just had time to throw a little bread into the water - although no sign of fish or fowl - take a couple of photos and the first, fat raindrops started to fall.
We took a different route home via the heights of Haraumont, where the valleys each side were filled with misty rain…

…then on to Ecuery-en-Verdunois where we were in the right place at the right time to do our good deed for the day by picking up a man walking in the now steady rain and were able to give him a lift to his destination, 4.7km away at Damvillers - coincidentally the little town where we live.
Indoors, a reprise of my last post on my blog - rain sliding down the window panes and, soon after, a log fire burning brightly.
I thought I'd already posted this - so feel free to remove one of the comments if both appear! It's usually a good move to go out, even if the weather isn't promising.
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you to offer the solitary walker a lift as well!
Only one comment showing, Alison - so far anyway! Yes, always good to take a break and we were obviously meant to! I had just said to Ron that I wondered if the guy needed a lift when he did the thumbs-up hitch sign. Good to be of use.
