There they are, the Pyrenees

They are very clear this morning the Pyrenees, not snow covered yet but still a clear line of mountains on the horizon.
The weather is warm and dry which is good for most of us coming up to Toussaint the week end after next.
A small percentage of us here will be hoping for a cold blast and a fall of snow in the Pyrenees. Snow at Toussaint  gives a profitable start to the ski resorts giving the season a longer spell.
Malc tells me the barometer is high and the meteo is showing high temperatures for the next week with no rain forecast so skiers may be disappointed.
We have ground work to be done around the donkey hut, replacing soil around the stable with hard core and sand so that the winter mud does not pull off my boots with the yucking sucking noise, so we are glad of the fine weather.
Today I will spend cutting of flowers and dead leaves on the geraniums and then taking them in to a cool but frost free room for the winter. They will be on their fourth year next year.
