 * BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES…
   
   This is a bit of a catch up. So much lovely stuff in the garden and further
   afield that this post will be mainly pictures. So, where to begin? Here’s my
   constant companion – always on the lookout for cheese – Robin. And a busy
   Blackbird. I’m not sure how many babies this one was…

 * FULL-ON SPRING!
   
   I can hardly keep up with the plants, birds and other stuff daily unfurling,
   flying,singing, growing and generally being Spring-like!

 * SIGNS OF SPRING…
   
   January and February don’t usually find me in the garden, so it’s been
   fascinating to see plants stirring and stretching and, in some cases, in full
   bloom. The Snowdrops are normally all but finished when I arrive back… just
   the pollinated seed heads as testament to flowering. So, an especial pleasure
   to have seen them…

 * ICE WAS NICE!
   
   Before these pictures become just a distant memory here’s a post about an
   amazing icy experience: freezing rain or ‘pluie verglaçante’. Something I
   have perhaps seen in the Vosges mountains of Alsace many years ago, but would
   never have expected in Brittany. Freezing rain is the name given to rain
   maintained at temperatures below freezing…

 * A DAY AMONGST THE MENHIRS AND ALIGNMENTS… CARNAC
   
   On a beautiful, incredibly frosty morning with a pale pink sky that quickly
   turned powder blue and sun that shone from start to finish. There can have
   been no better day to have seen the Alignments and Megaliths of Carnac. From
   October until the end of March the barriers are opened and you can wander…

 * LE GOUFFRE…
   
   Before the frost there was the rain. Not so much that it seemed significantly
   unusual, but the cumulative effects of saturated ground produced these
   beautiful images of Le Gouffre at Huelgoat. I can’t remember seeing so much
   water flowing through before… It was impressive and exhilarating to watch! As
   well as the sheer quantity of…

 * REAL WINTER WEATHER…
   
   After so much mildness winter arrived a couple of weeks ago. A bit of a shock
   to the system as ‘Winter’ has meant wet, rather than super-cold for the past
   couple of years at least. However, for the last week or so temperatures have
   been low. At first there was no accompanying sun which was…

 * THE GORGE IS GORGEOUS!
   
   Three visits, a week or so apart. Very different. The first in brilliant
   sunshine and unseasonably mild temperature. The second in greyness, drizzle
   and cold. The third, today, with mild weather returned but after quite a lot
   of rain. The Gorge remains gorgeous.  Each time has given me a basketful of
   Tube Chanterelles.  Every time…

 * MAUDEZ, MUSHROOMS AND MEDLARS…
   
   November has been very mild so far. Whether it’s been rainy, windy, calm or
   sunny the accompanying air has been warm and soft. Just one night of dipping
   temperatures at the end of October brought a slight frost which burnt the
   dahlias without blackening the stems or turning them to mush. So a few
   straggling…

 * AND ALSO….
   
   Meet Cacahuète. Born on the 26th October. A little ray of donkey sunshine!
   Did I really say at the beginning of the month that I’m not overly keen on
   October?
