A good start to 2015 with none of the lowering grey skies we've had too much of recently, but a frosty day with sun and clear blue skies; so went out with the camera.
Looking west-north west from the edge of our property over Eric's field
of colza to the other side of the Aigronne valley in the distance.
Again looking north-west. The low morning sun is casting long shadows and has already melted the frost under the trees.
Looking towards the south east. Deer often come up from the wooded gully and then cross our land, heading to the copse to the west of our house.
Looking east-north east along the same gully as in the photo above. In the forefront is a small strip of hedge which juts out. The field carries on down to the gully just behind it.
Mistletoe berries dropped from one of the poplars lying amongst the frosted grass and leaves.
Not long after that we cooked our New Year's Day brunch - croissants, chipolata
sausages from our local farmer, bacon and soft scrambled eggs. All washed
down with fresh orange juice and a glass of sparkling Vouvray - aptly
named Cuvée Antoinette.

A very Happy New Year to you both.
Sounds like a terrific way to start a new year.
Bonne Année.
It's a fabulous day today isn't it! I had to take my coat off in the orchard -- the sun has some real warmth.
Super photos! A 'cuvé' of your own, dear lady!? Can't think of a better way to start the New Year! I bet it was delicious. I simply love Vouvray bubbles!
@Rusty - thanks, and to you.
@Gaynor - after the grisaille we had so frequently to was just lovely to wake up to such a beautiful day.
@Susan - absolutely! The south side of the house was 'mellow' with a bit of warmth.
@Martine - So do I :-) spotted it on the SuperU shelves in Loches so we had to buy one for our brunch.
Two wonderful sunny days - unbelievable at the moment, isn't it? We went to Chenonceau today.
I hope that 2015 will be good to you in every way.
Happy New Year to you both!
Lovely photos, lovely looking bottle of plonk.....and wishing you all the best for 2015!
Happy New Year to you both x
@Aussie in France - back to grey today. Hope Chenonceau was lovely and quiet for you.
All good things for 2015
BTW the foie gras was superb :-)
@chm - and a very happy new year to you too. Wishing you health, peace and happiness for 2015.
@Vera - All good things to you, Lester and your menagerie for 2015!
@Colin & Elizabeth - and a very happy 2015 to the both of you too :-)!
Happy new year. We enjoy your blog and wish for you in 2015 the kind of adventures we'd like to have. That means nothing very exciting, but satisfying.
Lovely photographs...let's hope that sunny day heralds a year of good weather!
Gorgeous photos. What a lovely area you live in. Your New Year brunch sounds perfect after all the rich Christmas food.
@Carolyn - thanks! and... that will do us nicely :-)
@Fly - sadly it's been a return to the boringly familiar grisaille with the odd but of mizzling rain... :-(
@ Perpetua - It is lovely and there's always something to see.
Hope things are progressing well with your wrist.
MRS. IRENE QUERY FINANCE IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET A LOAN {mrsirenequery@gmail.com}
God bless you Mum, I will not stop telling the world about your kindness in my life, I am a single mum with kids to look after. My name is Mrs.Rachel Alex, and I am from Singapore . A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about MRS.IRENE QUERY FINANCE, that they can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. I have been in a financial mess for the pass 7 months now,She advised I give it a try so I mailed her and explain all about my financial situation to her, she therefore took me through the loan process and gave me a loan of $180,000.00 at a very low interest rate of 3% and today I am a proud business owner and can now take good care of my kids, If you must contact any firm to get any amount of loan you need with a low interest rate of 3% and better repayment schedule, please contact MRS.IRENE QUERY FINANCE via email{mrsirenequery@gmail.com}
