I just watched the elk in the garden again ... I always mark their visits on the calendar. They seem to come here between the 4th and 8th of every month on average, so they must do quite a wide circuit in this area. The house smells of apple and cinnamon tart at the moment ... I...

Mira ...... I was just reading her journal and thought about how nice it was last year to see Susan and her brother making and eating breakfast. Such a shame that some idiot (or more) has spoiled our fun. BJ never watches tv .... everything is downloaded. http://susandennis.livej...

Indeed MD ... nice to never be at a loss for things to watch. :) I forgot Susan's brother is visiting next week ... shame we can't seem them together again on the cam ... that was fun.

Mira ...... I still haven't watched the first series. I think BJ has put it on an external memory thing for me. I have one sitting beside me now .... it's a black box measuring about 2" deep by 5" by about 7 or 8". This one was full of favourite series and films ... most of which...

We're also lining up the second season of Les Revenants to watch ... we really enjoyed the first season.

Mira .... I actually have some rose-tinted specs. I saw that about Rowan Atkinson. I'd watched the original series with Rupert Davies when I was quite young and wondered how Michael Gambon would do. I think he was perfect for the part. It's been promised that there won't be a hin...

Speaking of France, I just saw this on the Variety website ... http://variety.com/2016/tv/global/rowan-atkinsons-detective-maigret-films-investigate-international-market-1201675308/ I remember enjoying Michael Gambon's Maigret, it will be interesting to see how Rowan Atkinson ha...

You're right MD ... and memories often seem to become more "rose tinted" with every passing year. :)

Mira ... they say you should never go back ..... I just looked up the Miam Miam restaurant and read only one comment. It was horrible so I stopped reading. I'll stick to my memories. :)

It was the only place to sit down for miles! Half an hour to recover and then walk a bit further. Happy days. It's nice that you've been to the area. You know how lovely it is. The air and light have a different quality to the UK .... not that Devon isn't lovely in its own way.

There's a bit more bamboo on the other side, if you look on Streetview. It looks very peaceful there.

Thanks Mira .... that's the place but it looks like they've cut the bamboo back ..... it used to be taller and they've added the green rail. We used to sit on the wall and drink a 25cl bottle of biere .... or 2. Ste Maxime is a pretty place but my fondest memory of it is the Mia...

I have very pleasant memories of the Sainte-Maxime area ... fields of sunflowers and lavender ... so beautiful. :)

MD, I just checked on Streetview along Chemin de Virgiles off the D25 , where it crosses the stream Le Preconil ... and there's lots of bamboo ... is this the place? http://s15.postimg.org/alum5y74r/Chemin_des_Virgiles_Sainte_Maxime.jpg

Mira ....... hubby and I used to go for walks on the north side of Ste Maxime and there used to be a bridge over a stream ...... bamboo canes grew there .... obviously not as majestic as the ones in the jigsaw. We used to sit on the bridge wall and listen to the wind blowing thro...
