CDP Theme Day – When I can travel again
This month’s City Daily Photo theme day is When I can travel again. Today is the real beginning of our first holiday since September 2020 and we chose Lalinde near Bergerac in Dordogne in France. We were not disappointed. We cycled 50 km on a perfect sunny day along a peaceful canal, then the Dordogne …
CDP Theme Day: Earth – La terre
Despite the fact that I have both a flower garden and a vegetable garden it was surprisingly hard to find an interesting photo because the season is just beginning. In the background are onions and garlic, in the foreground, tomatoes and bell peppers. For other takes on the City Daily Photo theme day of Earth, …
City Daily Photo Theme Day – April Fool
A superb Renaissance castle (1495) according to the website but if you know anything about Renaissance architecture it’s hard to believe. It looks suspiciously like a 19th century pastiche. Apparently there are more original features on the other side but it’s closed for Covid. April Fool! And by the way, my married name is Avril, …

City Daily Photo Theme Day – City People
This month’s theme on City Daily Photo is City People. This may not look like a city photo but it’s the main produce market in Blois held on Saturday morning. It was closed during lockdown.

Covid Confinement Day 16 – City Daily Theme Day: School
Fortunately we have a school in our street even though it no longer serves its original purpose, so I was able to take this month’s photo during our one-hour physical activity slot. Sadly our death count went from 4 to 7 today. The first medically-fitted-out trains took patients on ventilators from Paris to Brittany to …
