In Decize, France and the weather is great

We and our house-boat are now in Decize but I haven’t had internet or much time to write about our adventures. Here you can see most of us taking photos of our boat. We are moored in a ‘pen’. Shortly after this we went back to a nearby hotel to have dinner. The meals were delicious. We had mains then dessert. The desserts were smothered in whipped cream but I had crème brulee which was very nice. We’ve had fine weather so far although we’re supposed to get rain in a few days. Yesterday we saw stork nests in trees along the river banks. I’ll post a photo of them later. We’re having a late start today. I think we’re all finally relaxing and slowing down.

No, it's very pleasant at the moment. It's actually supposed to be raining but we've only had a spit or two so far.

The house-boat trip definitely makes you feel as if you were in a landscape painting !

Its a great looking picture, a nice blue sky in the background. I'm so happy for you that you're having such favourable weather. I look forward to see the pictures of the stork nests and other findings that you come across on the trip.

We are very familiar with the term vacation although we don't use it so much.

@JudyEv Yeah, we don't use holiday too much, as holiday is associated with various holidays we have throughout the year.

Yes, I know what you're saying but I'm taking care to do a lot more walking than I usually do. Hopefully that will help counteract the cream.

Decize is in the Loire Valley south of France. We were in a house-boat with six friends. Yesterday we arrived in Dublin to visit our son.
