If I Was Poetical



October is my favourite month here so far. When it gets back round to March I'll let you know if it's my favourite of all months here I suspect it will be.

We first came to the Limousin in October to look for a house working on the basis that it would be grey and miserable and if we liked it then we'd like it any time. What we didn't know is that the Limousin is golden in October. I really don't know how to describe it to you other than by saying it is golden. It's a sort of quality and softness to the light and air combined with the sweet earthy smell of fallen leaves and chestnuts. So if I was poetical or a painter or something like that I could make you understand why I fell in love.

What a cute little bridge! That's what I'd fall in love with.

Enjoy the golden autumn days.

It sounds wonderful. Wondering what November is like as that is when we are due to come over to close on our purchase. Love to watch your blog - missed you this last little while.

We have a special autumn light in Charente Maritime, it seems to start in September, It's difficult to explain unless you've seen it.
