Ken and I (and Tasha) walked a big loop after leaving the center of Verteuil-sur-Charente. We made it back to the car and decided to drive up to the church (we were parked just below it) and take a look. While on the grounds, we were rewarded with the best view of the château all morning.

So the temperature has indeed dropped below zero (freezing) this morning. Ours will be an invigorating walk today. We'll be in the low single digits all day. There's even some talk of a little snow over the next twenty-four hours. Fortunately, we're well stocked and don't need to venture out on slippery roads.
What a view! Hope the walk was pleasantly invigorating.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo. It has been quite chilly here too, but I love it for walking.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is fortunate! It has been sooooo grey and drizzly and yucky here the last few days... it's really oppressive when there is no sunny feeling outside at all, all day long. It's not freezing, though.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful shot of a beautiful chateau.

We are experiencing an Atmospheric River here in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) - heavy rain for the next at least 7+ days (snow in the mountains but turning to rain there as well midweek). Warnings for flooding - but not me as I live on a hill. No cold temperatures that's why the rain here and snow higher up! The good news is we should reduce our drought here with the 3-7 inches of rain forecast. We have had dense fog (like you Judith: grey, drizzly and yucky!) in the mornings and very little sign of any sun. Hey! It's winter - what else can we expect? I imagine Mitchell is basking in the sunshine at the beach? Lucky you!
ReplyDeletemitch, I 'm happy to report it was a good walk. There was no wind, so no wind chill.
ReplyDeletemichael, and Tasha doesn't mind it at all. ;)
