A little bit of freshness!







Today a little bit of fresh air after the heat of these last days nearly 40 C! The plants have been suffering, half my sweet peas are dead , four baby sparrows dead and thrown out of the nest. We had to water in the evenings and mornings but we will be soon in water restriction.
This village is well known for it’s roses it’s name been “Veules les roses”
I love this wind mill this is a little path with the shade of the trees and the freshness of water.
It is by the sea


 
Typical Normand thatched house
It is a river like the river Seine, but the smallest of France!

These are photos I took a few months ago. The village been too crowded in summer and it was so hot these last days it was not possible to go out and resist the heat. After thunderstorm hail and rain we lost 10 degrees! 🥵 
I hope you’ll have a good week!

Now we have a curfew at 6 pm and they switch all the lights and it is a very strange atmosphere.
The first picture is an arch in the wall that was around the village, the second one the lane going to the graveyard and church.

Today, it is a spring day and we will have a nice week end.
I will give the giveaway result by the end of the afternoon.
