Wood Pile Envy

Today we visited Sadirac, a village a short distance from Creon and the station where we hired the cycles yesterday.  It was forcast to be very hot today - 38 degrees - and by 11am we were feeling the heat.  So we wandered in the shade and found a wonderfully ramshackle wood cutter's hut.  It was quite an elaborate affair, with the downstairs a store area for machinary and the upstairs, open on one side, having a table and chairs and washing line.  I was particularly taken by the numerous neatly staked piles of wood which laid all around and this old tractor - carefully looked after and still in use.  We returned home for lunch and an afternoon seeking the cool parts of the house.  At 10:00 in the evening it was barely cool enough to walk and the temperature in the house overnight a stuffy 30 degrees!  In Extras - photos of the wood cutter's hut and pottery made by local school children at the pottery in Sadirac - unfortunately it was closed when we where there but bustling with a party of school children on a morning out - how lovely.
