Saw this during the interval in Romeo & Juliet at Lytham Hall

I’m a big fan of The Rest is Politics podcast with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart. Alastair Campbell has had a tree of the week on his Twitter Feed, so I thought I might steal the idea.

On the Nantes – Brest Canal, Josselin

A mixed week. A couple of nice walks.

     Sunday the 7th was dull in the morning but dry, so we decided to go for a walk in the afternoon. The countryside around the gite was very pleasant. Rolling farmland with loads of trees and deep river valleys. In fact lovely walking country. We covered 6 or 7 miles, on what tuned out to…

  1. Beautiful trees! And a very cultured time you're having. You'll probably enjoy Rory's book "Politics on the Edge". Brilliant read….though you may already have read it knowing you šŸ˜Š xx
