Yesterday Síle and I went up the Orb on a day out.

This stream feeds into the Orb near the village of Dio et Valquieres (whose intriguing name is the largest thing about it)

We stopped in Lunas for lunch, one of the prettiest villages on the river where we ate in the Restaurant Gourmand (for about half the price of the restaurant in the Chateau across the river.-we are getting as careful as the French)

Here for the princely sum of €12 per head we had a fine if uninspiring lunch (Hors d’Oeuvres, Steak and Cheese) while being entertained by the river.

By the Artist painting across the river. (We thought he had too much pink in his trees)

And the Dragonfly who joined us for dessert.

Then a post prandial stroll in the town, being impressed by this wonderful display of Geraniums.

And Madame, sitting on a bridge.
