Yes, I was pleased with the stork photo and if you click the photo to view it larger it's a lot sharper (same as all the photos) than the smaller photos shown here.

Glad you ...Thank you Caroline, and the same to you.<br />Glad you enjoyed the post about the reserve. <br /><br />As for bulbs, I kept the bulbs I planted last year in the pots, just changed out the top about 4" for fresh compost and planted new pansies in, with a bit of fertiliser added. I see the bulbs just beginning to show, but annoyingly something (cats I suspect) has been scratching in there and moving the soil around. So trying to cover them over in fencing wire!Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-88919150479772168212022-01-10T13:41:44.539+01:002022-01-10T13:41:44.539+01:00Thanks Dave.

I'm not surprised everyone is accommodating to cyclists as it's practically the national sport here - all through summer you see groups of people cycling and loads cycling up the really steep routes up the mountains - mad IMHO! :-) Yup, our weather is back to normal too, cold, wet, windy - 40mm rain over the last 24 hours.... lovely!Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-19930328959214470922022-01-10T13:15:38.682+01:002022-01-10T13:15:38.682+01:00Great set of images Mandy.

A great place to visit. I guessed the ash but only because of the ash keys dangling!!! Does seem very early.<br /><br />Well done on the bulbs I used to do Winter Spring pots here but have got out of the habit :( Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-78360949939369408902022-01-06T13:53:57.588+01:002022-01-06T13:53:57.588+01:00There's a good selection of bird life there an...There's a good selection of bird life there and lovely weather. Its been unseasonably warm here too although its now returned to normal. It just goes to show how the climate is changing as we now have a few storks breeding here. Again a familiar area and reminded me of a ride into Nissan Lez Ensure and it has always stuck in my memory mainly because we stayed in the Hotel Residence and the evening meal was really good. When cycling in France the hotels and guesthouses have always been so accommodating towards cyclists.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.com
