When we woke up the Autun was blowing with a vengeance ( orange alert from the meteo for worse to come) so we decided it would be a good day to head down to Pavillon to get a coat of paint on the recently repaired shutter.
I usually try to get out of going as I find visiting our seemingly unsellable, erstwhile holiday paradise retreat somewhat depressing as nature reclaims it but I today I was happy at the prospect of escaping the wind but still being outside. |
| reminder of the olden days! |
Pavillon is near Bruniquel is 40 kms away so not on the doorstep but it is always a lovely drive through the beautiful scenery of the Aveyron gorge. We were pleased to find the river well within its banks ( it's several years now since the house was flooded) and I was set to work collecting wood. A few minutes later the air was rent with unsuitable language as TC discovered he had paintbrushes , white spirit , rags but no PAINT!
Just as well there was some wood to collect !
We were also amused to find that Pavillon ( an isolated riverside house without electricity )now has a new address : number 3472 a swanky metal number plate delivered free!
Back home and the wind is still raging, it was a good idea to get away to the shelter of the Vere valley even if the shutter still needs painting.
