Original river crossing.

Opposite Les Granges is a very old track that, before Le Moustier bridge was built in 1872, led to the original crossing point of the river Vezere used by the ancient inhabitants of the Roque St Christophe and surrounding villagers. I've been told that a ferry ran between the end of the track to the opposite side of the river, plus there was a ford at some point nearby but at present i can't find out the exact location of this, but I will keep trying to find out and let you all know!

Spectacular sunset

Now that the snow has gone, we are still getting some very cold evenings and early mornings but during the day it is bright, sunny and warm. The birds are busy exploring sites for nesting, most of the daffodils are all out now, so all is ready for the spring...at last! We're looking forward to our first sightings of the Cranes and their returning up to the north, plus our swallows will be back, can't wait!!
