It was prepared to ignore Elizabeth leaning out of the car window taking a photo as long as it kept its meal...
We'd also seen a carpet of snowdrops by the roadside near Champigny-sur-Veude so on the way back we planned to stop for photos..
However we had one of those magnetic French cars behind us... the ones which cling to your bumper for dear life. We had to go past and look for a convenient place to pull in where we wouldn't get stuck in the mud. Elizabeth then legged it back to the snowdrops, jumped the dyke and got these shots.
There were snowdrops as far as the eye could see in every direction!
As she ran back to the car a "Blue Van" arrived..... The gentlemanly Gendarmes pulled over and asked:
"Vous avez un problème Madame?"
In her best French she had to explain:
"Il y a des belles fleurs et j'ai pris les photos!"
It was reassuring to know that if there had have been a problem they were prepared to stop and offer assistance!
