We really did strike great weather over the
Christmas week. We were able to run to
Andelot and back which is a great little run.
Gets the heart pumping with a bit of a climb back but a nice 6.5km
distance. Not too far, just enough for
us at the moment. I have hardly done any
running for a couple of years, I just get plagued with injury so it’s a real
delight being able to do a little bit.
We walked down the farm land below us on
Christmas day before dinner to the river.
There must have been a bit of rain, the river had broken away a bit but
it’s a lovely river and apparently full of trout during season. You need a license from the Maire (Mayor) to
fish for trout. Maybe we’ll try getting
one in a couple of years.
Our spot looked rather bare compared to the
last time we were there in October. The
seasons had done their thing. The leaves
were no longer fully there (however there were still some which was surprising,
probably due to the unseasonably late starting and warm winter).
To us it’s a pretty spot even in
winter. I can only imagine how it would
look cloaked in snow. I hope one day we
get to see that. With our church all
cloaked, the sight of that from our house would be impressive.
