A sausage called Jesus
I hadn’t been to a chestnut festival for a while, so called
on Miki who is always good to visit somewhere new (or in this case, re-visit)
and headed to the Fete de la Chataigne at St Pons de Thomières in the Black
Mountains. The sausage vendor told us that
that sausage is a speciality of Lyon.

Kestrels - long fledged
Back in June, I put up some photos of the baby kestrels on
Allyson’s window ledge in Agel. Even though I went back a few times to follow
their progress and – I forgot to follow up here. So here’s a few photos of before
they flew the nest. Allyson said that even once they took to flight, they came
back as a family for nearly a week or so – perhaps to spend the night in
relative shelter before facing the world on their own!
They're a bit wet and bedraggled in this photo. We were actually driving back from Montpellier when a short but rather fierce storm came through. We were actually worried that they may have been swept off the ledge. Fortunately all four were still there, but the horizontal rain had certainly got to them.
