Spring in our steps

We have been busy both in the house and on the computer and needed a break.  The sun was shining this morning so we decided to go to Plan d’eau at Marville - where it was cloudy!  No matter. We sat on a large rock and fed bread to the fish and a coote…

Cute coote!

…then took a stroll by the lakeside enjoying a little exercise, fresh air and the beautiful surroundings.

By the time we returned to the rock, the sun was out so we sat and soaked it up for a while. 

A horse cooled his feet…

…and our curiosity was aroused at the sight of a very small plan on a trailer. We wonder if a special event is planned to coincide with the town’s forthcoming brocante but there are no posters or signs on display.

We took a different route home, stopping off at Longuyon for fresh milk - only available, if you’re lucky, in the bigger supermarkets.  We were in luck.  Doubly so, as my husband bought and presented me with a beautiful bouquet.

We drove through the beautiful spring countryside. Back home, the sun is still shining and my flowers are bright and colourful too.
