There's a new bridge in town! For a while now, we've watched the construction of une passerelle adjacent to the bridge over the Cher at Saint-Aignan. In French, a passerelle is a pedestrian/bike bridge. The word is also used for jetways and gangplanks among other things. The construction is all done now, but the bridge hasn't officially opened. The old bridge will remain, of course, but now pedestrians and cyclists will not have to negotiate its narrow sidewalk or the busy car and truck traffic that it carries.
We had a little bit of rain yesterday, but I was still able to get out with the weed eater (strimmer) to neaten up the borders in the garden path. I noticed that the application of the home-made weed killer has done a good job on the weeds, but I think another treatment is called for. And, the yard wants to be mowed again.
Nothing at all artful about the new bridge, but I’m sure it serves a good purpose.
ReplyDeleteHow surprising that the bridge goes right through that building.
