The House on the Hill

It was 7.30am as Daftie and I strode out towards the village with the sun rising in a vaguely troubled sky. Rays of light fanned out behind the big house on the hill - a château, in fact. Known as La Tourette (no bad language, please). It has been sooo hot! And storms were forecast, and although they never materialized here, they did pass nearby and the air has cooled as a result. Hooray!
