The big thaw!


People who have visited us know of the track opposite Les Granges that leads to the river, the above picture shows how high the Vezere was a couple of days ago, very nearly over the river side footpath, after 2 days of snow followed by a warmer day resulting in the river level increasing by 2 meters or more.
You can see on the opposite bank a tractor, after being used to help with tree felling, it had been left perilously close to the edge of the very fast flowing river! Fortunately for whoever left it there, the river level has now dropped before it was on its way toward Bordeaux!
