Up early to talk to men in dark suits. A typical day. The Queen suspends parliament, Iran plans a drone attack on Israel, Russia refuses visas to two US Senators and Chinese troop carriers are seen crossing into Hong Kong.
Bob starts his day with all the seriousness that a new day deserves. Sophie's too happy to be serious. She skips out of the front door before issuing a brief but heartfelt shriek of delight. This is going to be the best day ever.
The abandoned car seats are still cluttering up the village dustbins.
We are clearly not the only ones irritated by these fly tippers. Another, unknown, villager has printed out a notice and taped it to one of the seats. The term Monsieur et Madame Grosdegueux is a French term we've not come across before.
At the greengrocers a particularly fine example of the French art of creative parking.
Barbary figs make their appearance .
This is wonderful but where would you get 350 million tree seedlings ?

I sense things are not going to end well in Hong Kong.
The parking - hilarious!!
What a relief to learn that Sophie at least is oblivious to the world's woes.

Never heard prickly pears called Barbary figs before. Looked it up. Learned something new. As a conscientious stepper upon the earth, I loved both the articles today! YAM xx
