A Walk in the Park

Today is May Day (Fête du Travail en France) and unfortunately the heavens have opened leaving many people in France stuck indoors and twiddling their thumbs on this national holiday.  We were looking forward to going to a brocante market in Rochefort today but with the heavy rain there was no point in making the journey as many of the stall holders will understandably not show.  

It's hard to believe that only a few days ago it seemed that Spring had finally arrived and I was strolling around the Jardin Public in Cognac and enjoying the sun.

Here are a few photos of that glorious day:-

If you're having a dark wet day like us I do hope that these photos will cheer you up a bit and remind you that Spring really is just around the corner.
