It HAS got legs, Gaynor!!

Leaving Richelieu through La Porte de Chinon this morning we encountered a familiar face...

and a few other familiar faces, too..

The Cirque Ideal has decamped to Richelieu for this weekend...

I don't think we'll be going; we've seen enough already!

On a different note following on from Susan s blog this morning  we went to see how our local cowslips are progressing...

A long way to go yet.

Last year we had them in the garden on the 27th February. Today the buds are just showing at the base of the rosettes.

Poor old Buzzard, he was back today with no success,,,

I know just how he feels!!

At least we now know that they were the circus and not stolen from the circus! Any sign of the goat or the lion? ;0)

Didn't see the goat or the lion but the llama's head could be seen peeping over the bars of its cage and the donkeys were tethered in another field just up the road! Maybe the lion was in the Parc de Richelieu...?

Thank you so much C+E - it's most gracious and generous of you. Tried to email you but didn't see it in the about us section so posting here, sorry!
