Turkey for Christmas

Hi Val
 
Talking of Christmas turkeys, here are some photographed at Boscgayral, near Ginals, in 1899 by renowned Toulouse photographer Eugène Trutat.
Boscgayrals was a farm belonging to a Cistercian Convent.
First mentioned in a document dated 1183 it was transformed over the centuries and finally sold by the state at the time of the revolution.
Members of the St Antonin Walking Group may recall pausing there earlier this year.
The photo of the property is from 1984.
 
Hope you feel better soon.
