Ducklings at the 'lavoir'...


This is an old 'lavoir' (wash house) on one of the two small rivers running through Bernay.  While cutting through the town Tuesday, I came across Mrs.Duck and her new babies.  It was so quiet and peaceful that I would have liked to stay longer.  I could have zoomed in closer with my camera, but it was the whole place that was magical, calm and pretty.  The ducklings couldn't have been more than several days old, it may have even been their first outing!

  1. Nice! I love seeing the natural things... We're moving into hunting season (also a natural thing) and my thoughts are turning to fall cuisine.

    1. Thank you, my thoughts too are turning to the fall. I am excited for the markets to fill up with fall produce soon, especially the wild mushrooms. There is a lot of hunting here too, which starts at the end of the month.

    1. Hi Harriet,
      You can always find me there in a power cut washing my linen sheets, dressed as Edith Piaf!!! (she lived in Bernay as a child). Hope you are doing well!
