............ I'm taking you for a virtual afternoon drive. Our destination is the Gironde Estuary so just sit back and enjoy the view. I hope you don't mind me chatting to you as we go along?

First things first:
First stop the Boulangerie!
A pit stop at the Boulangerie! Good job I packed a flask!

Growing wild!
Right, why don't we sit a while and watch the wild flowers grow.

Windmill
Do you remember Windy Miller?

Fishing Nets
Here's our first view of the estuary. Notice the fishing nets?

Driftwood
See how golden the rushes are and just look at the size of that driftwood!

Pretty Face
This is the first lamb I've seen since arriving here over six years ago.
He seems to be enjoying the camera attention.

Le Port (2)
This is the port at Mortagne sur Gironde - we'll get out and stretch our legs for a while.

Le Port (3)

Now we'll walk towards the end of the port - remind me to put my walking boots in next time!

Mud Banks
The deep channels and the mud banks look very dangerous at low tide.

Sluice Gate
This channel is one of many to accommodate the water when it's in full swell.

Sluice Gates (2)
This is an even bigger sluice gate.

Le Port (4)
Here's another view of the port as we make our way back to the car.

Well it's not a Teasmaid
Feeling thirsty? Well this is definitely not a "teasmaid". Don't worry we're nearly back home now.

Home again!
Here we are - the end of a perfect afternoon - fancy an aperitif?
