I do enjoy a bit of beach art, I think it is because whoever did it to the time to engage with their surroundings even if it was just in a transitory way.  Prolly kids, but at least they aren't on a screen for the time it took to do it.

Sorry to disappoint you but that’s actually a witchcraft invocation, you have quite a lot of covens down there.

Finally got back out with the Dear Boy today, bit wet and gloopy but still the air is fresh.  We managed  a 4.3 mile loop.

Got out on the ebike this morning.  It had rained overnight, but had stopped and was quite mild when we set off. Some nice backroads and tracks on this route. Bike needs a bit of a wash now.

In the last photo, Bob? If so, they are the Black Mountains. We have the Pyrénées to the west of us and the Black Mountains to the north. I think that they may be part of the Corbieres, but they are definitely referred to as the Black Mountains by the locals. 😉

I've just looked it up and they're definitely the black mountains.  Apparently they're the far southwest end of the Massif Centrale. They're about a 40 minute drive from here and we sometimes head up there for some walks.

We'll call them by their local name, les montagnes noires, if that makes you feel any better? 😂😂😂

I have been up there a couple of times. The first time I found some of the roads were very small and covered in green moss, as they were under trees. I then ran into a thick bank of cloud, which wasn't so much fun. But I'm planning on heading up there and across to the Pyrénées at some point during the summer.

I was going to say that given the type of roads I've seen in your area it was a pretty good fit.

It actually was. I wonder if the new Transalp would suit the roads around here too?
