Monster Trucks!

Passing through the small town of Lencloître today we saw posters advertising an event taking place this weekend.

The Cascadeurs Monster Trucks are in town, promising to demolish old cars and trucks...

With the invitation to "Plein les yeux avec les Hell Drivers" emblazoned across the trailers, it looks like it's going to be a crushing event!...

Don't leave your cars parked around Lencloître this weekend; they might not stop at the 'vieilles voitures!'

My Knob Collection....

I thought I'd share with you my collection of knob photographs, taken yesterday in that place sacred to DIY enthusiasts, Leroy Merlin.

The knobs come in all shapes, sizes, colours and price brackets, as you can see,  but they have one thing in common which may not be quite so easy to spot....

 

Does this photo of Colin give a clue??

What they have in common is that we don't need any of them. We went to look for kitchen tiles, not knobs.

But a girl can be side-tracked by the sight of an odd knob or two can't she?!

Bread of life??

Either I have 'found religion' or I've gone completely barking (there's a fine line, I know!!) Yesterday a road sign spoke to me:

I had just eaten the last of the supply of gluten free bread we'd brought back from the UK. How did the road sign know?

I, for one, am converted! That road is  my 'road to Damascus'. So no more ignoring the signs for me.. From this day forth I'll obey them and treat them with due reverence. For who knows what lies around the corner??
(Apologies for the mark on the photo taken through the car windscreen... Could that be a sign, too!)

Up the ladder to the roof??

I don't think so!! Not on this one at least....

 

It was spotted in the sleepy village of Prinçay, as we travelled from Braye to Guesnes - albeit by the sat nav's "shortest" route!

I don't think anyone here is going anywhere; certainly not up the ladder anyway!
