Pedometer Postcards

Sunday afternoon, my new friend "Madame M" invited me to join her on her daily walk.
I haven't done any walking of significance since last year's stay in Gourdon (when we did not have a vehicle and we walked practically everywhere.)

"Madame M" was a very knowledgeable tour guide of the village and surrounding areas.

I had purchased a pedometer a few months ago with intentions of starting an exercise regime of walking; but it only got it's first use yesterday.
By the time we got back home, I had made 14,760 steps and travelled 8.99 kilo-meters.

My new friend usually walks alone, it is her time....which I totally understand...so there was time for chatting and time for silence and contemplation.

We left our cottage on rue de la Gare, and followed the road to the train station, and came upon the home of a local Sculpter (Monsieur Honey's interest was peeked when he viewed the photos and we will have to make an appointment to visit the Sculpter.)

We wandered further afield and with my eyes wide open and my camera ready, many photographs were taken.















A Quercy region door.









A long view towards a local Chateau, attracting the attention of the neighbours in the field.





Busy and fulfilling day...tomorrow will there be pain?...many more photos to share.

  3. Thanks Janine...I love your photos and stories also!
    This area of France is wonderful, but I have to say there hasn't been any area of France that I've visited that I haven't been enamoured with...it's a beautiful country.
    Très belle.
    P.S. had a great menu de jour at Le Calliau this past Friday!
