Vernon

As I mentioned, we got an earlier shuttle bus back from Giverny than we had planned. Without about 40 minutes till the train to Paris was due, we decided that we just about had time for a quick walk as far as the Seine and back, allowing for a (few) pauses for photos. It was a lovely old town, and we would certainly spend more time here if/when we visit Giverny again.

It's that time of year again...

There are chirps and cheeps coming from all over as the young fledglings are hatched.
C called me last night and said there was a robin feeding a young one on the back wall. I was in the middle of making cheese soufflĂ© for dinner so I only had  few minutes and just grabbed two shots.




But this morning, with half an hour to sit in the sun before heading out for the day, I took my camera and got a couple more. One shows the adult robin taking a well-deserved pause from feeding two greedy beaks; he sat there for a few moments ignoring the insistent chirps. And apparently one is never too young to enjoy a good sunbath.
