Making our way through the woods

I'd really like to spend more time walking along the river, especially in better weather. Like I said, the only problem is getting the dog down there; there's a road with fast-moving vehicles to cross. It's just a lot easier to walk out the back yard and into the calm of the vineyards. I could put the dog in the car and drive down to the river, but that just seems wasteful, and she hates the car.

This is one of the paths that run through the woods along the river bank.

But you never know. She did really well crossing the road last week, so maybe we'll try it again in the spring. There looks to be a nice dirt road along the opposite bank of the river, but that would definitely entail taking the car as we'd have to go into Saint-Aignan to cross the bridge. We should probably just stick to exploring our side for now.
