Dordogne

Back last night from the Dordogne where Lowri was giving two concerts with Malcolm Layfield and friends.

Here's the Château de Croze where they played on Saturday night.




Applause at the end of the concert after an exhausting but triumphant performance of the Schubert C major quintet.







The anglo-french amitié barbecue the following day. There's Lowri on the left, in the hat, and Philomena standing up. Fantastic barbecued magret de canard followed by cabécou, the local goat's cheese.

Dangerous fun in the afternoon tearing round the field on a sparky little bike.

This hungry creature sits just above the door in the church at Saint-Pompont, where Friday night's concert took place. I am really not sure how the theology of this works. It's similar to the Green Man, common in medieval churches in England, France and beyond.



The boys had fun on the drums in the stables.
