Morning all. It's a misty old morning here in France, but the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and there's a definite feeling of spring in the air. Better days ahead,we hope.

Veggie tagine in the Ninja tonight. An hour in the fridge to marinade then 10 minutes on high pressure. A January favourite and half to freeze.

Vibrant flowers growing in the garden yesterday. The sunshine is making them spring into life.

I LOVE spring! And the Merlin app. Out in the garden tidying up and these are the birds singing in the garden in the last 10 minutes. Nature's symphony ❤️

Soring:The winter's gloom has lifted. The sun is shining,it's 17'. The birds are singing & feasting on nuts & seeds. Liam's planting bulbs,we are drinking good coffee & there's a curious,fat bumblebee investigating every bit of my left sleeve.
This morning feels like an awakening after slumbers.

We go very often on a Saturday. We live just outside Bergerac near Prigonrieux so it's easy to get to Sainte-Foy. I love the veggies and flowers. There are stalls selling spices now too so I go to stock up.

When you're driving along and you hear a strange noise coming from the car's air-con vents... Then you find a baby frog under the bonnet. 😂

One of our cats is a shameless strumpet, and she knows it. What a floozy!

The weather is having a grump again today - more than 3 weeks of rain and grey skies - but the furballs are in their favourite spots, by the fire.

Sunshine after the rain. It feels so good to be outside again after 5 days of continuous rain and grey skies. Happy days.

Picked up some great books at the bi-annual animal rescue book fair last weekend. OH says we will have to move if I buy any more cookery books.
