If you go down to the Woods ....

Pat and Mel are staying with us for a few days and yesterday we dragged them off to one of the cultural adventures of which there seem to be quite a few around here.  On a hot (30-35 degrees) afternoon we (and hundreds of others) walked about 2km along a stream-side walk in the woods up a valley to an old church, Notre Dame de Verdale.






What made it interesting was that there were paintings on display along the walk and bands playing various styles of music.

There was quite a variety of styles .....

The walk ended at this small church and a 'buvette' selling drinks.

Having remade our way back down the walk (another 2km), the calls of nature began to be a bit pressing but we managed to persuade the people selling food at the start/end to allow the girls to use their toilets.

Two very relieved ladies!!
