Turkey into oven, (click on pic to enlarge)
Well for traditional reasons, the turkey is placed in the oven by someone other than the cook. Later the guests arrive, and after toasts

LATE SUMMER MEMORIES
12th September 2016: September Sunday Lunch
A long lazy lunch, late summer days never ending…. “more……..and still more later flowers for the bees, until they think warm days will never cease….”
a thorn between two roses…
Carole, me, Cherry.
“Cherry … finds a boat beneath a willow left afloat…”

A few photos of Autumnal Colours: we took a camera to the Bambouserie yesterday and herewith our record of contrasting maples in the Japanese Garden.

JUNE 2015 :
La Grotte Chauvet (La Caverne du Pont-d’Arc ) dans l’Ardeche
this site has just recently been opened and is well worth the visit. (you need to prebook, and costs 13€ each)
This is neolithic art, radio-carbon dated to 34,000 yrs bp. UNESCO designated this as a World Heritage Site in June 2014
Some ancient michelangelo passed this way
horses and a rhino
It’s hard to believe that these are charcoal drawings made some 34,000 years ago.
