It’s certainly been a week for birds. Think this is a Red Kite (?) flying over the garden with its mate. They seem to be nesting nearby. #birds #birdsofprey #birdsofinstagram #redkite

As you can hear, my rescue doggie Milly enjoyed the spectacle of the crane migration too! Here they are circling the house to gain altitude before setting off again. #cranes #cranemigration #springmigration2020

They came out of the horizon in their thousands; we could hear them coming long before we saw them, and watched for over an hour as they flew over our garden, tens of thousands of cranes making the Spring migration to their summer pastures in Sweden. Nature is amazing. And what a hopeful sign of Spring here in SW France. #cranes #cranemigration #southwestfrance #tombeboeuf #lotetgaronne #springmigration2020

More signs of Spring in the hilltop village of Montastruc. #daffodils #montastruc #lotetgaronne #Spring #lifeinfrance

Hooray Spring blossom! I took this pic as I strolled past a pretty gîte complex on a Springlike day near the hilltop village of Montastruc, but, such is life in rural France, that shortly afterwards I was berated by a rustic type who appeared, menacingly, from what looked like a derelict cottage and said he’d set his dogs on me for walking down “his” lane. This ain’t Kansas Toto (to misquote Dorothy) I registered mentally as I legged it back to the car. #frenchrurallife #montastruc #lotetgaronne

#tbt Wonderful little pied kingfisher family camouflaged well in the reeds, Kruger Park last year. #birdsofinstagram #piedkingfisher

Heartbreaking to pull down the rustic old piggery, such a charming feature of the garden,but with huge cracks it had become dangerous and far too costly to rebuild properly. As we demolished, a couple of resident snakes were evident. A bold new modern feature will be something we can look forward to... #oldpiggery #sadtoseeyougo #frenchfarmhouse #gardendesign #watchthisspace

An evening of West African and Middle Eastern music held in the medieval setting of the 14th century Château and church of Bazens. Extraordinary to find these cultural activities in very rural France in winter. #Bazens #lotetgaronne #medieval #architecture

Wonderful to have the scent of mimosa in the house. All over the area mimosa trees are in flower, such a cheerful sight at this time of year. Lovely too to be surrounded by my African art again. #mimosa #lotetgaronne #tombeboeuf #spring #scent #frenchfarmhouse #frenchcountryside
