Lovely rural scene.

Thanks Jaap, Hanwe

I had to stop a while on the road yesterday for a herd of sheep to be moved....I'm glad there weren't as many as in this picture ;-)) The farmhouse looks like it has an apartment over the barns, like many here used to be in years gone by.
A superb and interesting shot Nick.
HFF and wish you a good weekend ~ Rosa.

Hi Rosa, yes it was a widespread habit to have one's livestock housed downstairs where they were safe from predators and provided useful heat to the farmer and his family. Thanks for our kind compliment and good wishes. Hanwe

Oh Oh, that's a good one Nick. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Thank you very much Herb, you too ~~~~ Nick

Yes it does seem to be in the same area as the bridge. I suppose shouting 'Mint sauce' wouldn't disturb this flock. I don't know the French expression. ;-)))
HFF dear Nick, and enjoy the rain for the garden, if you are getting it that is.

Hi dear LGM ~~~ sauce à la menthe egts the sheep running. Thanks for confirming the area to me. No rain forecasted for here today, so I'll leave it to you to have the fun dancing in the rain :)

A curious rural photo. Reminds me of the Europeans trapped under the designs of the Brussels bureaucrats. Have an enjoyable weekend, my friend.

What a thought Anton :) You have a point

Hi Nick
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition
Great colours!
Perhaps we could buy the house for a few Euro... Sheep a lot more valuable!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

A good idea Peter, houses in France are much cheaper than in the UK, but it would be too hot in the summer for me ~~~ we could open an chop house or rack, there would be the danger of getting fleeced, but it is a golden opportunity
Enjoy the rest of your week ~ Stay safe

Together out and together in!

yes

beautiful!

Have a nice day and weekend!
