Cat and Mouse

Miepje, the daughter of our stray cat Minoes, is growing up to become a real hunter. The mouse and Miepje were having a good conversation....................
until the mouse offended Miepje. Needless to say somebody lost out.....

Walnut country

Another view from our garden. As you can see, we have our own viewing point, the only difference with the previous topic being that we are overlooking walnut orchards in stead of vineyards. Yesterday afternoon it was particularly nice with a very clear rainbow.

Wine country

View over the Lot valley from Bélaye
My brother and his wife joined us for new year's eve and the first week of January. A good time for some sightseeing and going to the Lot valley to buy the famous Cahors wine, Malbec as it should be. We usually go to Chateau Latuc, run by a Belgian family. Very much recommended.
Their (pricey) white wines, which are very unusual in the Cahors area, are comparable with good Burgundys.
The picture is from Bélaye, a superb viewing point.
