The Loire on a Sunny Winter's Day – La Loire un jour ensoleillé d'hiver

Sunny Spikes – Pics ensoleillés
I’m pretty sure I posted a photo of these little spiky flowers last year.but I still can’t remember what they’re called! Je suis presque sûre d’avoir posté une photo de ces petites fleurs qui ressemblent à une grosse brosse22 l’année dernière mais je ne sais toujours pas comment elles s’appellent !
The Pumpkin – La citrouille

La Réserve
I’m not sure what it’s a reserve of but it reminds me that I still haven’t done anything about having a nameplate made for Closerie Falaiseau! Je ne suis pas sure à quoi correspond cette réserve mais cela me fait penser que je ne me suis toujours pas occupée de faire faire une plaque pour la …
