In the Summer of 2004 we moved to the West of France. I take a lot of inspiration for photography from the countryside and wonderful regions around us. I love people watching, the landscapes we have can be endless and summer Sunflowers are bright and beautiful!
I enjoy the feeling of liberty and fun that is to be had with a camera, I enjoy trying out new things, and sharing my life through the lens.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01387867853515403509noreply@blogger.comBlogger40125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513866002908266612.post-47050459266684993332016-09-01T09:13:00.002-07:002016-09-01T09:13:45.724-07:00August - really Been there Done that....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, it's time to catch up on Life through the Lens, Making Memories and Events in August, before we come to the end of September!!<br /><br />It's strange today - reading so many status updates on FB about the Summer holidays coming to an end and rentrée has started here in France, for us this year we have nothing to do, no paperwork to fill out for the girls, not moving back into a small room on campus as they both rent an appartement together - this makes life truly, very easy now - until they decide to move out and get another place - until then though we are enjoying this stress free part of the month :)<br /><br /> It's funny because all those years of sending papers off, filling in forms, standing in queues for books, and sooo much more - we have accepted that now this is how our lives our! The plus side of rentrée for us the pool only had 10 people in today - the downside it was back to the very short opening hour that is 1h15mins and really we only get one hour to swim when all is said and done!<br /><br />Aaanyway - back to the start - August - well it's been a very, very hot month considering that July '16 was the hottest month on Earth since recording started in 1880 I can say that August was also the hottest and driest month on record!<br /><br />The first event for PJP was the Mad Hatter's Kitchen Festival - a three day weekend of music, food and more music! As it was it was quite hard manning my stall, looking after Bilbo and taking photos so a lot of photos were taken by the lovely Megan - it was as good for her to be free with the camera and capture some of the musicians!<br />

It was incredibly hot this year - unlike last year on the Friday when we had to pack everything up in a rush due to torrential rain! However this year we were prepared and shared a Tivoli which meant we were all protected nicely! Prints and Photocards don't like the rain much but boy it was hot under there! </div>

I also had the great joy of being reunited with the adorable Kristina from the ACTP picnic - she looked so happy, relaxed and we were so pleased to see each other again!<br /><br />Friday night was the night for the Mac abbé and the Zombi orchestra ..... we had long since packed up so it was out with the camera...</div>

There are plenty more photos to view over at my Events and Photography page - suffice to say we had a good but very hot musical weekend which included some brilliant bands not that I remember Eddy and the Hot Rods at all! But we also had the chance to hear the brilliant Coco and the Butterfields and Gad Zukes amongst the others!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />We also managed another excuse to eat out at l'Auberge du Noyer as it was my Dad's birthday over that weekend - so with the thought of one of their very tasty burgers we all managed to wait a few days to go and enjoy another evening out! Having our Coffee outside meant we got a splendid view of the rising moon!<br /></div>

Another weekend arrived and this time we were lucky enough to go and see Tankus the Henge at MHK (they couldn't make it to the festival) they are brilliant! If you ever get the chance - I urge you go see them - they play everywhere over Europe and coming to France again hopefully next year! </div>

MAKING MEMORIES as always it's the best thing! I love my job end of! This little shoot was in aid of something rather fun and a new collab between my lovely and talented friend Linda and myself!<br />Three years ago we had such an enjoyable days getting together and taking ceramique hand/foot prints and photos of gawjus babies and toddlers....we, at the time thought it was a lovely thing to be able to do together but as always life and other things take over so this year we discussed it again and thought - let's do this! So we spoke to our lovely friend Marie who has been Making Memories with me from when her now toddler was her bump to when she was three months old - she is now three and her big sister is six! Quite poignant for us all as the "baby" has started school today!</div>

These are a few of our fave photos that Megan took of Linda and I working with the children, it was such fun and the girls were brilliant the whole time - you can't ask for much more really! Now Marie has some more keepsakes to add to her collection.</div>

Another friend had her grandson visiting her this summer - again I have had the chance to photograph her family over the years including last year at a wedding so when she asked for some updated photographs of her grandson it was a done deal! The day was hot by mid morning....and we thought it was going to be quite hard but no, Jacob was en forme and had plenty of ideas of where he wanted his photos taken!! Made it so much fun as we found lots of place to use this time..<br /></div>

August also celebrates "World Photography Day" this year celebrating 177 years and marking the invention of photography. For me a great excuse to get the camera out - in the garden and seeing what flowers are surviving this incredible heat! </div>

The hut has been used so much this Summer and we already have a few more ideas for next summer....I am thinking Day Bed but apparently we don't have enough ROOM out there ... hmmmmm! </div>

<br />So as this hot month drew to a close we had a few things that needed tying up so it was off to Niort for the joys of the Prefecture - which actually ended up easy - paying was the most painful part not the sitting waiting! That done we enjoyed a nice drink watching the world go by before it was time to drive to Parthenay to meet the eldest....The Donjon in the town always looks so lovely with the blue skies as a backdrop - even more so now it's been cleaned!<br /><br /></div>

<br />Whilst in Parthenay we realised we hadn't been there since at least eleven years - we went several times during the first couple of years we moved here as we enjoyed exploring but I guess as time goes by you discover other towns to fall in love with - and some are a little more local!! BUT it didn't stop us enjoying the scenes again and reminiscing of a lovely meal we had in the town - our first time of eating Cuttlefish - this time was a sandwich at the local HyperU! </div>

Views from the ramparts haven't changed everything has remained just as we remember it! Then it was off to the Station to collect eldest for a further 45 minute trip north!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />Whilst waiting for her I noticed the railway station was looking a tad unloved so I popped in to see what was what, to my delight some nostalgia! </div>

Our day had not ended there though (thankfully could have been an expensive trip to look at a car!) We did the deal and took our dear one back to Poitiers for a quick family "Chow Wow" in this instance a G&T and some fries à la maison then it was off home after a lovely, long day out!<br /><br /></div>

Sunday dawned not so bright, not so hot and in fact a tad chilly! Which meant after a quick discussion it was all go for the Bikes to be loaded and off to the Marais Poitevin......obviously the day didn't stay cloudy and chilly by lunch time the skies were blue and the sun was making a rather loud appearance which admittedly we hadn't expected!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">After our first pit stop of a picnic lunch *read sandwich* we were off to somewhere possibly Magné but anything can happen to us on these routes....and it did!</span></div>
</span><br style="text-align: left;" /><span style="text-align: left;">First and foremost the most thrilling sight we have yet seen ...... I heard a sound you see as we were cycling along and slowed to see a bird running into the reed bed - I thought it was a Heron so took the camera with me and came upon a Heron with it's back to me - then it turned around and the best thing ever it wasn't just any old Heron but a PURPLE one - these are becoming a very rare bird due to their habitats being destroyed - thankfully they have plenty of space here!! But not only was it quite happy with me the other side of the narrow watery ditch it was eating lunch!! What a sight to behold and oh my goodness it took so long!! Not really sure what type of fish it was but I guess it was a bit hard going!!</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br />We ended up on a new route after making the "left/right" decision and after a very steep climb decided to go via Route 7 well let me say this now - nope, nope, nope not again...it was not the best route we have found at all! It was hilly- ok in normal circumstances but by now the wind was really, really kicking up so much so the noise was whistling around my cycle helmet and making me feel quite doolally! To add to that once we left the farm roads we ended up on many busy and main roads back to Coulon so I think in future - we may take the right hand turn dir. Niort!! Still we got to see a wonderful, wonderful thing - a Purple Heron eating lunch!!<br /><br />SO that was it - August ..... I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoy making them.....somedays there is nothing better than picking up the camera and just having fun, seeing something that you have never seen before and most importantly creating memories!! </div>

I know, I know I say it every time "where has the time gone?" I honestly don't know where it is going but trying to make the most of this rather hot month has been hard! It's too hot to go outside (36 degrees for nearly 3 weeks!) but we have had some fun anyway - you can't let the heat stop you getting on with life can you now?<br />
<br />So I left you early on in July and we had enjoyed our 25th Wedding Anniversary - which I still can't believe has been and gone, we spent so long deciding what we wanted to maybe do - we just kind of did something which we probably didn't intend to do but made some lovely memories!<br /><br />Just a few days after our special weekend away it was back to work and a really lovely, relaxed and fun Wedding was in the dairy! I have known Paul and Susan for some years so it was great to be working with them and capturing their special day!<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">July as always where our family spends an afternoon making music (Naomi and Rob this year) and taking photographs (me!) in aid of the ATCP (Association Tchernobyl Charente Poitou) this year we found out that the funding that has brought so many children over to France for their much needed respite has been pulled - at this moment in time myself and friends are planning how best to raise funds for next year) </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Musique Pleine Aire certainly helped but at 700€ per child it's going to be hard and we so badly want to see the beautiful Paulina, Sasha and Kristina (and others) back here next year!</span></div>

We also celebrated my Mums birthday at the Auberge du Noyer nr. Lodigny and commissioned a Digital Art Print of Dougal their dog by Rosie a rather talented young lady and which they are rather thrilled with!<br /><br />We had friends come for a very short stay and it was lovely to catch up after eight years and finally meeting their "baby" boy who is now six! I rest my case TIME does fly!!<br /><br />Finally I have to share this with you we are rather partial to taking "Selfies" not only on our Gin night but wherever we go - it's a way of Making our very Own Memories so when I saw this in the shop I had to buy it for Mr PJP - can you see the likeness? ;) And no, he isn't going to grow a beard but he does wear a rather nice hat :)<br /></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Well here we are just over the half way point of this lovely summer month.....It's been a lovely month so far, Mr PJP and myself celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary on the 6th we chose to go out to lunch with our gorgeous daughters who presented us with a fabulous memorable gift, a book of greetings from family and friends along with photos that have been taken over the years! My eyes started leaking at one point so touching were the words from our loved ones!</span></div>
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="text-align: start;">We decided after spending a little time choosing my silver gift to go and explore another town that we have wanted to go to for sometime now, Dissay...we were surprised to find a beautiful château with a moat and many turrets, sadly said Chateau was shutto! So I had to make do with many exterior photographs instead!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">fyi The Chateau sits on the Clain River. Built in the 15th century by Pierre d'Amboise, bishop of Poitiers, the château was then enlarged in the 18th century. The water-filled moat reflects the château with its high pure white towers. During your visit you will see the inner courtyard with its polygonal angle turret and the chapel with its wonderful Fountain of Mercy 16th century murals. A walk through the garden designed by Le Nôtre takes you along the paths walked by Kings Francis I and Louis XIV who both stayed here</span></span></div>

It was a scorchio day so we decided to pop to the river as highly recommended by our eldest daughter (another water lover!) We didn't really get chance to wander but I did get chance to try out the zoom on that there new camera - it really has a very powerful zoom! I could actually spend more hours than time allows just watching the dashing beautiful blue beauties - these Damsel flies were pretty much non-stop the whole time we were watching - there is something about nature and water! </div>

Our anniversary however wasn't over we ended up having "high tea" how posh does that sound? Actually read as chocolate muffins and a glass of water because by then the time was flashing by!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also managed a lovely lunch out the following day with Ma and Pa S who have put up with me as their daughter in law for the last 25 years and they presented us with a gift of a night away in La Rochelle - we had chosen that weekend to go as it seemed the best all round but by now it was all very real - I do tend to get excited and forget that a night away is just that - and not a week like my "overnight" bag suggested!!</div>
<br />
Saturday morning dawned - damp and grey - this wasn't expected it was supposed to be sunny, blue skies and a light breeze!! You will be pleased to know dear readers that by the time we arrived at our destination - a hotel on the port - the sun was very out and the skies were very blue!<br />

As it was actually just past lunch time we headed straight into town and found a lovely little resto where you can buy an omlette for under a fiver, or have a salad for around five euro, in fact the drinks bill was higher than our food bill we were on holiday though so we just smiled and enjoyed the food we have never been round this part of La Rochelle before and you can find a few restos just by the Town Hall that is being restored after an electrical fault started a fire back in 2013...<br />

After a light lunch we decided that we would explore a little more we spotted a church spire in the distance and headed off in that general direction - have to say le Chapelle Notre-Dame d'Esperance was a little unusual on the outside - the amazing spire was just the start - the church is also attached to surrounding houses, the inside however was pretty stunning! The colours of the painted alters and stained glass windows were so pretty and as always the cool, calm feeling a church gives gave us the opportunity to enjoy a moment or two of admiring!<br />

We had decided that we would be taking a boat trip out to Fort Boyard we have been wanting to do this since living here but it was always a little pricey for a family ticket so it was always a no-no, however my parents had given us some "treat money" as well soo.....well I am sure you can guess where we went that afternoon....the weather was glorious the breeze was just right (for burning an English rose!) but we loved the trip! View to the Clock Tower from the boat...<br />

<br />There's so much to see on the way to Fort Boyard, firstly the huge amount of boats from the little sailing school ones to the yachts with their billowing sails....a great view of La Rochelle and the set up for the forthcoming "FrancoFolies" and then out to sea....you can see how small Ilê de Ré actually is and in the distance we could see the Lighthouse at the end of Ilê d'Oleron plus I managed to zoom into the old lighthouse at sea!!<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Fort Boyard arrived into our view and I swear the boat moved as everyone stood up - fortunately the Pilot did an around about turn so that both sides could see it without tipping over!</span></div>

We then made our way across to Ilê d'Aix on of the smaller islands - where very few cars get to drive as it's mostly feet that do the work, either by pedal power or by walking! It looked lovely and I have to say we are very tempted to go back and spend the day there with the bikes! </div>

Then it was back to La Rochelle but not without me getting a proper view of the Old Wooden Lighthouse - another structure that has intrigued me each time we visit! I would love to have got that much closer but to do that - might have to go under sail ;)<br /><br />

SO there our boat ride ended - we'd had a fab two hours enjoying ourselves!<br />
<br />
Of course it doesn't end there - we had a fab meal out that evening, a night time ride on the Ferris Wheel and a nightcap by the harbour then a walk around the long way back to our hotel room!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
SUNDAY 10th...<br />
Woke bright and early to the sound of...well nothing really the double glazing was pretty effective! However did spot all the yachts leaving the harbour as their weekend of racing was over as well! We had a very enjoyable breakfast on the balcony watching the world go by and then it was off to cram in a few more sights - this time by bicycle not our but the hire ones...and boy are they interesting!!<br /><br />You can hire these Yello bikes for a couple of hours or for the day - so we split it and went for 7 hours knowing we could then take our time and it didn't matter if we got lost ('cos as you know - we do get lost quite a bit!) SO with a map and directions to the coastal path - we were off...well sort of, boy was it wobbly to start....I put it down to a very low saddle and handlebars - which we rectified promptly but still it was very strange not like my lovely bike at all!! Saddles were comfy, one gear to worry about and thin tyres!! Still we managed to clock up 17 kms whilst out and had a lovely coastal ride - something you don't often get!<br /><br />

<br />
<br />We headed back into town, found another lovely resto for our lunch and then walked it off along the new sea wall that has been built recently! Had we thought about it - we would have done that by bike!! Still it was lovely watching the yachts go in and out and there were some rather lovely ones that passed us!<br /><br /><br />

The chance to go out whilst Mr PJP meets with a new client - yes please, says I...haven't done that for aaaages....how could I not go - a chance to explore, take photographs, use new camera, and spend time with my wonderful husband!
A few hours later, lots of talking (Me) and not much exploring around the lovely little town in the middle of nowhere but somewhere in dept. 17 (Me) he did lots and left a very happy client. Realising we weren't as near to our first choice Rochefort to visit we had a decision to make - where to eat our picnic - place found and after a bite to eat of a very lovely cauliflower tabbouleh at a very chilly aire - it was late in the day by now - so what did he do? He took the turning to the Ilê d'Oleron.....it was nearer to us at that time than going home, honestly...</span></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1d2129; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We flew around and after a few photographs off we went 22kms up the road to le Boute du Monde not only does it have the best (in our opinion) choices for Ice Cream it is peaceful but busy with people exploring, it's always windy so you get the most amazing waves to watch in winter and sometimes in Summer if it's a very stormy day... the wind was a tad blowy, the skies weren't as blue as they could have been but it was lovely!!</span></span></div>

Onwards ever onwards, well not quite but another stop before we hit the road for home we enjoy the sea for a bit longer I just love this beach - we have seen it calm and tranquil on a hot summers day, wild, wet and windy on a cold Winters day and obviously windy and chilly on a mildly warm Summers day (not exaggerating it was 16 degrees!) and yet we can't come here without another stop.......</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">By now it was getting late and we were a tad peckish a fish supper at a little resto we found by accident (read we never have looked down that lane before now!) We have very rarely eaten before leaving - not sure why timings normally -get home for the dog etc.....I think we were feeling a tad rebellious though - it's been a long time since we have had the chance to eat out call it a date night if you want or hunger and not wanting to eat at very silly o'clock by the time we got home!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">SO we did the very considered menu perusal thing that everyone seems to do....what to eat, what to eat...was the question, Rob thought he had nearly got me in one of the restos until my hawk eyes spotted a little shop but no it wasn't it was another little side lane and there were menus...so off we went down to the board to see if there was anything we fancied on there! La Sardiniere is lovely outside eating on a lovely warm evening would have been perfect - clearly we are not so hardened to this chilliness so opted for indoors!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
In the end I decided on "Bar" (Sea Bass) served with vegetables (could have had rice as it was part o the plat but that's not for me) It was delish - served with lemons and cooked to perfection on the griddle, the vegetables were courgette and carrot ribbons with tomato - I couldn't have been happier! Rob went for Fish and Chips, the chips were divine (yes I had a couple - how could I not taste tests are obligatory) and the batter was very light and crispy! I even had a very fresh cup of mint tea made for me.....
The young waitress was lovely, very attentive and got our English humour - thankfully!! We chose the right place totally to finish off our much deserved few hours off!

I am looking forward to our next coastal outing - lots of photographs will be taken it's going to be a good one ;)</div>
<br />
Thank you for reading I hope you have enjoyed my "Life through the Lens" photographs - mostly they were taken using the Canon Powershot SX710 HS which I am still finding my way around - I am superly impressed by the 30x zoom and even in the wind it kept a steady photograph which I was happy about!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I actually cannot believe I haven't written my blog since June 2014 - although it was the best weekend ever so maybe nothing topped it for a while!<br /><br />The last year has flown by, it was a mixed year with a visiting childhood friend of our daughter's, I wasn't in the best of health and we didn't get out much! I am happy to say that part of life is over now and we are enjoying 2016 for what it is!<br />
"What is happening so far?" I hear you cry - well we have had some rather special events so far this year - a 70th Birthday a 50th Wedding Anniversary, a 24th Birthday and a 21st Birthday all in our family....we still have a very special occasion to follow another Birthday - but that is not until July ;)<br />

<br /><br /><br />SO the year this year has been good so far, we have had some interesting weather - as in lots and lots of rain (so theoretically shouldn't have a hose pipe ban this year!)<br />

We have had some lovely sunny days which meant we could finally start getting the Hut back into order as a Poplar tree fell into it making one heck of a mess during a storm in February! We were quite upset at the time as we spent a lot of time and effort on it over the last few years, however we have made some improvements including removable windows!! And as always we have more projects to undertake very shortly :D<br />
<br />The best part of summer arriving is that the Bees, Butterflies and HummingBird Hawkmoths start their work!<br />

It's so easy taking photographs on the go now - what with the Samsung Mobile, a new birthday present in the form of a compact Canon (with a snazzy retro case of course!) and the big cameras are always to hand - especially since investing in (another) a 70-300mm macro lens last year but having the chance to use it - this year I can enjoy getting out and using it properly!<br /><br />So that's about it from PJP - the year in a nutshell - or a short blog in this case! I am looking forward to getting out and about and particularly to our celebration next month!<br /><br />Thank you for reading and don't forget you can follow me on my FaceBook Page for everything "Life through the Lens" <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotography/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotography/</a></div>

A couple of months ago we decided that a long weekend break was much needed - a good way to celebrate our Birthdays and impending Wedding Anniversary (Mr PJP still has his Birthday to celebrate as well) So it was with much excitement on the 20th of June we loaded our bikes into the car - yes into (new car bike rack doesn't work with it!) careful packing of the boot and we were off! By the time we stopped at Decathlon for our new accessories of Sunglasses for cyclists (they are brill!) and inner tubes and essential item we were really finally on our way! We are lucky in as much as it's only really just over an hour and half to get to the island, so we were actually there in time for lunch, we went to the lovely little town of La Flotte and found our restaurant of the day actually we ended up having our final lunch on Sunday here as well - I proclaim their Grande Creme to be the best I have had in France in the last 10 years!<br />

W<span style="text-align: center;">e had a walk around La Flotte before we headed back to the car to basically kill time before we could go and check in and see where we would be staying for the next two nights! Still it wasn't a wasted walk the town was brimming and a hive of activity.</span></div>

So direction sorted - St. Martin en Ré then working our way back along to La Flotte and after that we would see - this is what I love best - doing what we want, without planning or schedules!<br />
<br />
The gates to St Martin welcome us, we haven't been here for a few years now, nothing much would have changed I know that but still it's lovely to go back and seeing it this time on 2 wheels so very different, we had cycled through some lovely areas and didn't have to touch the main road at all (this time!) but it was a breezy ride with a good old headwind for most of it - tide changing breeze!<br />

St. Martin is a Citedal , built and designed by Vauban in 1670 to prevent further attacks, between 1873 & 1938 it kept prisoners before shipping them off to Penal colonies.<br />
<br />
The Poitou Baudet donkey which in the high season used for rides around the town, dressed up in their dungarees - yes dungarees I kid you not! This goes back to the years when they used the donkey in the salt marshes, it protected them from the nasty old mosquito bites! This time of year however they are mainly resting and trying to keep in the shade from the heat of the day!<br />

Our next stop Châteliers Abbaye (Abbaye Notre-Dame-de-Ré) another building I love being around - it's so atmospheric there, we have been lucky each time on visiting as there are never many tourists around so hopefully today would be the same, being as it was officially l'heure d'appero!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Abbaye des Châtaliers was bulit by Cistercian Monks in around 1156. Burnt down and pillaged during the combat over the Il de Ré it was later restored and now a listed building!</span></span></div>

Our day was at an end, we had managed (as only we seem to) to get lost and ended up using the GPS on the mobile phone to get us back to our site, we finally got back about 9.30, we had been out since 4pm and so please with where we had been and what we had seen, and this was only one afternoon! We relaxed with a bottle of the Ré's finest read - highly recommended by a dear friend - she has such good taste it would deem rude to not try for ourselves! *Not all the wine was consumed DF has 2 bottles on order*<br />
<br />
Day 2 - 21st June loomed bright and breezy, I was a tad worried about the weather as I heard strong winds during the night but it was fine, it was a little overcast but that's not a bad thing either, ahh actually yes it is as you tend not to put on quite so much suncream and then forget to take it with!<br />
<br />
<div>
We were heading out today for the furthest point from us Saint Clement des Baleines where the lighthouses are, a very popular attraction as the lighthouse is open as a viewing gallery and also there is a museum to peruse as well. BUT we were not going to be going there for these attractions but just to see what it's like off road and we were loving it!<br />
<br />
We stopped for a new map at the Office de Tourisme on the outskirts of Les Portes on Ré, just like the lady in La Flotte the young lady was extremely helpful and so friendly, she also informed me it was 32 degrees and climbing! Ah, that's why were really, really hot then! She even reminded me to make sure we kept drinking (water) and to stop when we felt tired or dizzy, so sweet! She was thrilled when I mentioned we were off to the Bird Sanctuary, it's a place that doesn't attract many tourists this time of year apparently!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our route would take us through the Fier d'Ars, Lilleau des Niges nature reserve,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">which is a wonderful and natural area for many kinds of bird life, there is also a Bird Sanctuary you can pay to visit at La Maison du Fier which is run by the LPO - well worth a visit by the looks of it but we decided we would see probably as much on the cycle path so stuck to that. We did see lots of Black Headed Seagulls, Albatross, Egrets and Black Winged Stilts. </span></div>

It was a bit early to eat by the time we arrived back so we went for Apperos in the harbour and met the most fabulous waiter Douglas, who had time to talk to us (as it was the end of his shift) we ended up putting the worlds to rights and finding out how it was living on the Island 12 months of the year, he and his partner as he says "are ok as they inherited a family house, living here in the summer is great and seasonal work is always good as the other six months of the year can be used for travelling and surfing" turns out he is an avid surfer so goes South to indulge his sport - last year he went to Australia and surfed whilst his girlfriend did her diving! He loves his life and intends to bring up their children (when they decided to settle) as it's a great place, very friendly and good schools (winter can be a bit uncertain as there isn't much to do, so a lot of drunks are found!) We had such a lovely chat it was a shame he had to leave!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We decided to go into centre ville to have a wander, maybe take some photos, and walked slap bang into a wedding party, sadly I couldn't quite reach the Bride and Groom - it was a day off but the thought of capturing them leaving in their little blue sports car did certainly pass my mind, but there were too many guests in the way! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So it was finally time to eat and what a wonderful dinner we had at Le Clocher Hotel <a href="http://www.hotel-le-clocher.com/" target="_blank">http://www.hotel-le-clocher.com/</a> I had Dorade, a first for me, it was delish and of course Mr PJP went with the Moules! Afer a long, hot but fabulous adventure we were pretty starving and it was worth the wait!</div>

It really didn't do much to make you want to be out on the bikes at this time of the day, and did take away some of the pleasant feeling we'd had, but thankfully on the other side, back into vineyard territory and they all but disappeared! Funnily enough I didn't spot any swifts or swallows as I would have thought that it would have been a gourmet feast for them!</span></div>

So after a (what we thought was a quick freshen up!) it was to the one of the beaches of Bois Plage en Ré for what I hoped would be some fabulous sunset captures, we left it too late though, and the sun had left us leaving beautiful colours however! The sea was once again welcome to our poor hot feet, and the sky was still quite spectacular! After sun set we sat with all the other people who like us were just enjoying the last of the day, being as it was the longest day and the first day of Summer where else could be more perfect? Across the sea to the Vendée we could see flashes and some amazing orange colours from fork lightning and rather large rumbles going on! It didn't come our way thankfully!</div>

Day Three 22nd June </div>
<div>
The day came all too quickly neither of us really wanted to be packing and cleaning to be honest but we had to leave at some point so on with it! We decided to head back to La Flotte for the best Grande Creme I have yet had in France! We found a place in Sainte Marie de Ré to park the car, unloaded the bikes and set off on another cycle path through woods, a busy town greeted us, shops open, market in the old market place and hundreds of people!! We were so relaxed however, we thought a cold drink first would be rather nice, which then meant we might as well stay and try their lunch menu as well, Brochette de Crevette and green salad has never tasted so good, I finally got my Grande Creme to set us up or the next leg of our final ride!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
Our final path took us into unknown territory, we were a bit naughty and went along the coastal path, along with others before and after us I know! But it was worth it - what a fantastic ride - up and down the hill with the sea about 3 feet away from us! It was exhilarating to say the least, especially on the downward inclines!</div>

We circumnavigated the Abbaye on this path, but seeing it from another angle was just as good, having never seen it from this area before was something new and as always great to view this sadly majestic building.</div>

The path took us as far as le Fort de le Pree which was quite uninspiring, I know it wasn't ever meant to be pretty! But still the views were rather nice!</div>

Thank you for taking time to read our brief but fabulous mini tour de Ré, there are more photos on my page over on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotography?ref=br_rs" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotography?ref=br_rs</a> if you would care to see more of this beautiful island known as the "hidden gem of France".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't wait for another break whether it be a day or a weekend being out on the bikes has shown what you can explore without the inhibitions of the car, of course it's much easier on a bike to yell "STOP" and we stop so that I can take that photo or photos in my case! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We tried to explore as much as we could in the short time we had, covering 100kms (getting lost more than once) and watching the sunset on the beach all just made the whole experience incredibly special for us!<br />

Well June is really in bloom, we have roses galore since the beginning of the month, and far more prolific than I have seen them in a few years! Such a welcoming sight in the driveway.<br />
<br />
Apart from flowers which I could rave about, I have had a few discoveries - for some it maybe quite normal to have spotted them before - for me however new and exciting sightings!<br />
<br />
Firstly I will share my yearly shot of the beautiful HummingBird Hawkmoth<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;"><i>The Hummingbird Hawk-moth is a small, day-flying hawk-moth. Hummingbird Hawk-moths are summer visitors, In some years, they can be common and may frequently be seen in gardens hovering like hummingbirds to feed on the nectar of Honeysuckle, Red Valerian and many other flowers. They can also be found in woodland edge, heath and shrubby habitats. The caterpillar feeds on various species of bedstraw, so the female adult moth lays her eggs on the buds or flowers of these plants" </i> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">I love them, I could watch them for hours and yes sometimes I spend a good hour trying to get another shot of it's amazing whirring body as it works itself around the Lavender bushes! I was delighted to count as many as 10 in one area on Monday! </span></span><br />

Last week was the turn of the Green Tree Frog - we discovered him in our swimming pool sitting happily on the pump area, but we needed to empty and clean the pool so I had the wonderful job of holding him and re-homing him! <div>

The trouble is every time I went to go and do something else in the garden, I ended up going back to the Frog to see where he was and what he was up to! I also regret not changing lenses but the Sigma is playing up again so it's more hassle than it's worth in many ways as the 200mm still gets the shot but of course I can't get in so close!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I then discovered this insect and no amount of googling has given me a definitive answer as yet - I think I might have to do a "shout out" and see if anyone knows? My last results show a Common Long Horned Beetle, so if it is then that's another newly spotted critter in the garden!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On my travels around the garden I have also spotted the "long horned Bee" endangered in the UK but hopefully it will migrate here and have a chance!</div>

And if that wasn't enough for new discoveries in the same week we found "aliens" in our bucket of water - oh ok, they are not really aliens but I am sure I could be forgiven for thinking along those lines? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Drone Fly Larvae or Rat tailed Maggots. The "Tail" is actually a snorkel to help them breath - how clever is Mother Nature? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

And last but really not least - we found a Glow Worm - I haven't seen many of these around over the years, such a bright little fella this one!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"The adults (of both sexes) cannot feed and live only a short time. They glow, but only intermittently. Their sole purpose is to mate, and for the female to lay eggs. Adult insects are poor fliers and so will often remain in the same area, building a colony of glowworms. The female lays a total of about 130 eggs, in clumps of 40 or 50, and dies soon after laying. The eggs hatch after about 20 days and the cycle repeats.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The larvae are sensitive to light and disturbance and will retreat into their nests and stop glowing if they or their snares are touched. Generally they have few predators. Their greatest danger is from human interference."</span></i></div>

This is what I love about my "life through the lens" not only do I learn along the way about Mother Nature it's also about enjoying the garden, wildlife and so much more! I do love the other aspects of my work as much but sometimes it's the follow up from taking the photograph.</div>

Where did that time go? I had so many things planned to write about and now find myself thinking it's the middle of June and didn't ever get around to May! So bad.....!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
We did celebrate 3 Birthdays and I think the 10 days between the three make the days go even quicker as we are normally running around buying presents etc! No excuse I know ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
We took our eldest out for lunch in Poitiers and unusually for the beginning of the month it was a tad chilly and cloudy, so I thought some Black and White photos would suit the weather!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One evening was so beautiful the light was "just right" so off I went out in the garden to capture some of the flowers in a different light for once....it's something I seem to rarely have time to do, and should do more often! I am still finding new ways of using the latest camera so taking advantage more often is now on my list of "to do"</span></div>

<br />
<br />
I do love to know about origins of rhymes and proverbs and there are so many for the Merry Month of May, now the flowers are appearing on a daily basis, although at this time the weather is very inclement - in fact since our dear daughters 22nd Birthday it has got colder and more miserable - we have had many years of May birthdays but this year - it's just not nice!<br />
<br />
On our way out to take DD for a birthday lunch I realised the hedgerows were white again, not with Blackthorne this time but the Hawthorne, it's suddenly appeared really. On spotting this I started thinking about all the facts I have picked up trying to increase my "little knowledge" about flowers - I take photos of them so I should know what they are called and know a little really!<br />
<br />
For those like me that like to know, this is what I have found out over the last couple of years....<br />
<br />
We all know and remember this nursery rhyme I am sure?<br />
<br />
"Here we go gathering nuts in May,<br />
Nuts in May, nuts in May,<br />
Here we go gathering nuts in May,<br />
On a cold and frosty morning."<br />
<br />
I was quite surprised last year to learn that in fact in all my years of singing this, it actually could be a little incorrect! Yes I know...childhood shattered! In fact the song was most likely referring to something completely different as Nuts are not gathered in England in May but in Autumn! However, Conopodium majus is commonly called pignut, groundnut etc. and would be in season in May. This was commonly gathered by children as it grows under the ground.<br />
<br />
The lyrics could have been changed over the years and a corruption of "knots of may", referring to the blossom of the common hawthorn or May Tree for the May Day celebrations to decorate the village greens and for sweethearts to give and receive a bunch of May was indeed true love!<br />
<br />
An ancient specimen, and reputedly the oldest tree of any species in France, is to be found alongside the church at Saint Mars sur la Futaie, Mayenne. The tree has a height of 9 m, and a girth of 2.65 m (2009). The inscription on the plaque beneath reads: "This hawthorn is probably the oldest tree in France. Its origin goes back to St Julien (3rd century)", but such claims are impossible to verify.<br />
<br />
The oldest known living specimen in East Anglia, and possibly in the United Kingdom, is known as The Hethel Old Thorn, and is located in the churchyard in the small village of Hethel, south of Norwich, in Norfolk. It is reputed to be more than 700 years old, having been planted in the 13th century.<br />
<br />
Another favoured saying as I was growing up in our family was "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out" I always thought this was the Month of May, so indeed I had many beautiful sunny Birthdays, but would I take off that cardi? Not if my Nana was near, no.. ;) BUT again, it could be meaning that the May Tree is out in the month of May and...I won't be casting a clout today that's for sure!<br />
<br />
So a little probing brings me to think that maybe it could be the month, as I originally thought when younger...<br />
<br />
A French proverb - 'En avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil; en mai, fais ce qui te plaît'. This translates as 'In April, do not shed a single thread; in May, do as you please', which has much the same meaning as 'ne'er cast a clout...'<br />
<br />
In Spain they say, 'Hasta el cuarenta de mayo no te quites el sayo', that is, 'Don't leave off your coat till May 40th'<br />
<br />
Or in England...<br />
"Button to chin, till May be in,<br />
Cast not a clout till May be out"<br />
<br />
Also the rhyme <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23.400001525878906px;">"April showers bring forth May flowers" could be referring to the May tree again...and we have had many Showers in April and of course May is notoriously iffy weather wise, so did those wet months give us the abundance we see in the hedgerows that are growing so </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 23.400001525878906px;">prolifically today?</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23.400001525878906px;"> As </span></span>I have been seeing May/Hawthorn growing everywhere over the last couple of days, it's suddenly a wave of white again along the roadsides. But not outside my house as yet this year!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> We visited friends yesterday and they have it growing in abundance! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found this page also that has a lovely history of the The Hawthorn Tree - Queen Of The May <span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><a href="http://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/hawthorn.htm" target="_blank">White Dragon</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But I think today I shall leave the final words to William Shakepeare himself.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: #fcf9f9; line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? </span></span><span style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thou art more lovely and more temperate. </span><span style="background-color: #fcf9f9; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May". </span><br />

And secondly it's quite funny reading today about how people are having a long weekend Bank Holiday - here in France our Fête de Travail is on the 1st, which meant basically everywhere would be closed and on the day - and long may that continue! But it's not just about the day off, oh no France also has a wonderful tradition of giving bunches of Lily of the Valley to friends and family as a good luck charm.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Here is a little about May Day – Fête du Muguet</span><br style="line-height: 18px;" /><br style="line-height: 18px;" /><span style="line-height: 18px;">Labour-Day-Lily-of-the-Valley copy</span><br style="line-height: 18px;" /><span style="line-height: 18px;">Lily of the Valley</span><br style="line-height: 18px;" /><span style="line-height: 18px;">May 1st (May Day) is known worldwide as Labour Day.</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><br />In France May Day is also the Fête du Muguet when the French greet each others with a sprig or a small bouquet of lily of the valley, a flower that is considered a lucky charm. The tradition dates back to the beginning of the century. Unemployed people went into the woods that were still found in the big cities’ suburbs to pick lilies of the valley. Unemployment benefits did not exist so people had to find ways of making ends meet! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">The lily of the valley is in full bloom in late April early May. It is one of those wild plants that spread very quickly, invading clearings and edges of wood! It grows everywhere and is almost considered as a weed. People just needed the patience of picking it and composing small bouquets which they tied with a ribbon. They sold them in the markets as women once loved to decorate their blouses with a sprig of lily of the valley. This custom was a remainder of the old pagan tradition when people celebrated spring by adorning themselves with flowers. Many provinces have retained a version of this ancient tradition by decorating a pole (May Pole) with flowers. This is reminiscent of the tradition of planting a flowering tree outside the door of the girls to marry off. It was followed by a feast during which they widely celebrated spring, nature and love!<br /><br />In the language of flowers, the lily of the valley symbolizes ‘marital happiness’.<br />It was natural to link the flower to dating, and the popular dances “Bals du Muguet” were organized every year so that singles could meet their soul mate.<br />The girls dressed in white and young men wore a sprig of lily on their lapel; parents and chaperons were banned from attending!<br />The lily of the valley has been cultivated in Europe since the Middle Ages but it is said to originate from Japan where it is considered a symbol of spring.<br />Some sources, however, attest that the Celts knew the flower and already considered it a lucky charm.<br />The French tradition of giving a sprig of lily of the valley as a good luck charm on the first day of May originates from May 1, 1561 when King Charles IX received a sprig.</span></span><br />

<br />
After quite a few months, my new look website has been finalised and launched! I am thrilled to bits with it, we have spent hours getting the look right. I am pretty lucky to have someone who listens to my wants and able to put them into working order!<br />
<br />
A massive thank you to <a href="http://www.robsmith-it.com/" target="_blank">RobSmith-it.com</a> the site has evolved so much over the last few months, new ideas, new colour schemes, take this out, put that in, with not one template in sight - all has been developed using good and proper skill for detail and programming, all of which I can honestly say "you what now?"and a lot of it I really don't understand but luckily for me Rob does! I wanted uniqueness something that is different to the usual and not looking the same as so many seem to and that has been achieved, all I had to worry about was colours and verbage! For me that's nice and easy so I feel I had the better end of the deal really, but then it's not my skill set ;)<br />
<br />
The gallery is just how I imagined it to be with clients able to select their photographs either as Greeting Cards, Prints or CDs! Each element of my photography has it's own page detailing prices etc...<br />
<br />
I would like a badge saying "I am the proud owner of a RobSmith-it website :)" OK so it's my second one but websites do date so, and this is about our businesses, so let's try new ideas and go with a look that is clean and professional, easy to view and use.<br />
<br />
But enough of me waffling about it - take a look for yourselves! <a href="http://www.pamelajaynephotography.com/" target="_blank">www.PamelaJayne Photography </a><br />
<br />
I have also launched 2 new Facebook pages so that it all works together now you can find my "Making Memories" at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotographyMakingMemories" target="_blank">Portrait and Wedding Services</a> and "Promoting with" at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/PamelaJayne-Photography-Events-Marketing-Services/1481123422102970" target="_blank">Events and Marketing</a> I still use my "Life through the Lens" page for all my other photography.<br />
<br />
Exciting times!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444;">Well we had a lovely Easter weekend - the weather was fab and because of that we decided to go to the 21st Festival de cerf-volant et du vent "Kite Festival" which is held for three days over Easter at</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; line-height: 14.300000190734863px;"> <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2telaillon-Plage" target="_blank">Chatelaillon-Plage</a>.

It was beautiful the shades of blue just hit the eyes and everything looked stunning!</span></span><br />

And it was very nice to be welcomed like old friends a huge thumbs up for le Patron who greeted us with a huge smile and 2 bottles of rosé (complimentary) as a bienvenue!

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So back to the festival one of the other reasons we came - to see the kites of course not to eat and drink all day long (ahem - note I said not ALL day long!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to the beach and we noticed the very large kites had been given their chance to star - it is quite hard to get a measure of these kites from a photo but I tried!</span></div>

Well what a busy few days it's been, we are halfway through April, which is scary in itself as we are ever nearer to May - Birthday Month!<br />
<br />
I have had much fun since the first of April deciding to record those happy moments on a daily basis - using camera, tablet or mobile I have so far captured 18 days of Happy for my #100happydays album, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152144721760095.1073741933.122083630094&type=3" target="_blank">100 Happy Days</a> which can be seen here - of course sometimes I don't post on the actual day - that would be silly now wouldn't it? But I have been keeping on top of it, it goes to show how many happy moments can occur on a daily basis!<br />
<br />
I have had a photo shoot this week as well, plus a call to take photos for a disabled gentleman for his photos for the Permis de Conduire, whilst there I was asked to take photos of himself and his wife, their first "official photoshoot" in Twenty years!<br />
<br />
This followed the very hectic but enjoyable "Making Memories" photo shoot, 3 great grandchildren all under 5 to one very lovely Ann and her granddaughter Jenni. <br />

And before I turn the PC off for the weekend I would like to introduce you to my new page! I have been working on it since February - this will work so well with the new website as well once it's launched!<br />

Who stole the time - again? We left March to beautiful weather, Saturday saw 5 of us pounding up and down the pool in Ruffec taking part in a Sponsored Swim (Nagerthon) we wanted to achieve 100 lengths in the hour, and we did! A nice way of fundraising for the Rotary Club to donate the money raised for a Garden for Disabled people in the town! We then completed a bike ride of 15.5kms (that .5 is really important!) on Sunday which for us was a good ride as it was the first back out this year! And we found every hill imaginable in our area, as well as the D9 which who knew was so hilly?<br />
<br />
I was commissioned to take photos of a very lovely Chambre d'hote <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LA.BELLE.EPOQUE.2014?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">La Belle Epoque</a> in March, but have been waiting to share some of the photographs, we were there last year for a Vintage shoot so it was lovely to go back and take photos of the house now ready for the busy Season ahead! Good luck to Olly & Baz :)<br />

We are lucky to have lanes to the back of us - as you may have seen previously, the farmers have been very busy readying the fields for planting - well they were a week ago (or so it seems) now we have an avenue of Colza (rape) which is so pretty - I know it's evil and nasty as it makes everyone cough and sneeze - me included, well until this year!! </div>

I have to share this as it's Scooby - totally oblivious to the fact there is a great big Hare not so very far away from him! Even when he did look up, there was no obvious sign he would give chase! Good Old Scoobs!</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was just like a wonderful Summers day last Sunday (8th) so we decided to jump in the car and head out to La Rochelle, just over an hours drive from us and a relatively easy one at that - the péage is great for us, only a 20 minute drive away and we can get to the coast far quicker and it's not terribly expensive! Although once off the toll road you do end up on a single lane road where just about everyone has to overtake, at one point we nearly had someone overtaking someone overtaking!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> The only thing is I have always loved is that first sighting of the sea, we don't get that the route we take to La Rochelle but even so I could feel the smiles spreading over our faces as we approached the station, knowing that very soon we would be port side in the warmth of the winter sun, feeling the stress leave our bodies and embarking on some "us time" in other words me and the camera ;) *joke* Parking is now a joy as well, the new underground car park is easy to navigate and lots of spaces, so providing you go the right way around and don't mind not getting on the first floor life is good for the car!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Coming out of the car park and yes....seagulls and salt hit the senses - I did point to the direction of a Brocante but lunch was on their minds and that was it! Hitting the harbour wall and I had to stop - this is one of the places that the gulls like to gather and I fancy we had a welcoming flypast!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Walking alongside the boats and dreaming that one day - wouldn't it be lovely to go out on one of these? We haven't been on a boat since the "ferry" around to the beach! I miss the fun of sitting on a boat sometimes especially on days such as this one! Sun, warmth, blue skies, calm water and a light breeze! The after taste of salt in your hair and on your lips...oh yes the joys of sailing but I am wandering off track - this is what the sea does to me. Now onward to the "<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Vieux Port" which will lead us to the eateries of which there are plenty! We did not expect each of them to be packed to the gills though!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So onto the restaurant of choice Café Leffe - we have been several times before and always enjoyed the food, especially Moules! I sadly think that the did not expect the world and his wife to be out though! We waited rather a long, long, long time....we did try to leave but told to wait just another few minutes - which we did but that turned to another half an hour! Finally our food arrived and so disappointed - clearly the wrong time of year for Moules! Very small and not very tasty (this is our first bad experience so not bad in 10 years!) We have been lucky when we have eaten out and maybe had I not been trying the healthy option the burger would have been the better decision! But we still had quite a fun time - watching the world go by as we sat waiting and waiting! Eventually after leaving our very apologetic hosts, we went back out into the beautiful sunshine to go for a walk down to a little promenade we discovered a couple of years ago</span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Time started ticking all too fast - the last day of the half term holidays, which as we all know means panic and bedlam once home! So we walked back taking another route back - La Rochelle isn't huge but there is always another route to choose, so this time we stuck to the main walk back to the harbour, which is basically a road of restaurants on either side, in the side roads and above on second floors as well, again nothing much really changes, a new resto that may have opened or one that we liked that has closed down, thrilled to find this bike though - that's new!</span><br />

No chance.....Melle is actually a little bigger than I anticipated and I still haven't made it to the Market Place as yet! Just reaching the church my place of destination when DD rang to say her rdv had finished and now ready and waiting for me...ahhhh I was now in "rush mode" which meant I wasn't going to get nearer l'eglise Saint Hilaire.</span><br />

So as you can see Melle is really a very pretty town, with many places to discover, I am still quite ashamed that it has taken me this long to take the time to explore but now I have and know that I have a few more places to re-visit which does excite me, back to the church Saint Hilaire at some stage for internal photos!<br />

March came in a bit like a Lion, with Têmpete Catherine on the 2nd March which was a bit of a surprise one minute it was still and calm, then came down the rain and huge gusts of wind! But the Monday following you wouldn't believe how calm it was and then the sun came out and it has been resting with us ever since! So many signs of Spring now showing, although we still have boggy areas flowers are blooming and the buzz of bees is in the air!<br />
<br />
To start the month of March, I was commissioned to work a Pop Up Studio/Photo booth for a Surprise Masquerade Party for a family that are departing for the States. George Archer who has been teaching Zumba locally <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zumba-with-George-Archer/146279872178955?fref=ts" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zumba-with-George-Archer/146279872178955?fref=ts</a> will be leaving during the next few weeks, I first met George when he was about 15 at line dancing, he then got involved in the Zumba world that was introduced to our region by the lovely Lynne Stephens who ran Slimmercise which involved slimming club followed by aerobics, she then moved to Zumba after becoming a qualified ZIN <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZumbaPoitouLynneStephens?fref=ts" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/ZumbaPoitouLynneStephens?fref=ts</a> and quite a few of us are now addicts and still including the Slimming club - fitter and slimmer ladies are now enjoying the music and fun that Zumba with Lynne has to offer!<br />
It was a pleasure being asked to be involved in the Surprise for George and his family, the photographer had far too much fun! Good luck to a lovely family....<br />

A "Pop up Studio" is such a fun way of recording an event, all guests have their photographs taken in a professional setting, ensuring that everyone has a great memory of the time. It also means that the Event host has great memories to treasure and doesn't have to worry about out of focus snaps! The choice of CD, Prints and PhotoCards (or all three!) can then be purchased.<br />
I think my favourite way to capture certain moments is with a few props as well, I have been using a frame for photo shoots as well and it really is an ice-breaker, everyone starts posing in various ways and then the relaxed atmosphere that is provided really helps to add more than just enjoyment, everyone finds their inner "star" quality and pose like never before!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melle is a lovely historic town in the Deux-Sèvres region of the Poituou Charentes. Now, we have lived here 10 years this year and I thought we had pretty much covered all that Melle had to offer! Well I found out that's not quite true and a very unfair assumption on my part! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">And this year is probably the best year to discover the hidden delights of this town as it is celebrating 10 years since being given the designation of "Petite Cite de Caractere". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only is Melle very popular on market day, selling all types of home grown vegetables and fruit, to sea food, flowers and cheese, one in particular is the cheese of the area<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">a type of goat's cheese named '</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chabichou" style="background-color: white; background-image: none; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" title="Chabichou"><span style="color: black;">chabichou</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">', driving around the routes to Melle you will see the brown sign and "Route de Chabichou" we have had it once, I shall leave it at that!</span></span><br />

The silver mines which supplied the mint continued to function off and on before being forgotten altogether in the 18th century, not to be discovered again until the 20th century. The mine is now a tourist attraction and can be visited most days of the year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the Middle Ages, Melle flourished as a town, as can be seen from its surviving medieval houses and the three churches, built in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesque_architecture" style="background-image: none; text-decoration: none;" title="Romanesque architecture">Romanesque style</a> during the 11th and 12th centuries."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have also travelled the paths of the Silver Mines many years ago (well 9 and a bit to be precise!) and it was very enjoyable and quite amazing to think that something so incredible is on our very own doorstep! The Problem with living so near to somewhere sometimes leads us to think we know that place and we have "done" the tourist attractions etc...but yesterday I went off piste! I had a whole hour to meander through the little lanes and around the old Church of St. Savinien... I was quite surprised when the door not only opened but to walk in and discover - nothing - no chairs, benches, altar or even stained glass windows! The church is now used mainly for concerts especially for the Fête de Musique which runs through the month of June. Another Church we have visited is Eglise St. Hilaire, a church that is </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">listed as a </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: none;" title="UNESCO">UNESCO</a><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heritage_Site" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: none;" title="World Heritage Site">World Heritage Site</a><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> as part of the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heritage_Sites_of_the_Routes_of_Santiago_de_Compostela_in_France" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: none;" title="World Heritage Sites of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France">World Heritage Sites of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France</a><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">. The church of Saint-Hilaire has an "ecclesiastical juke-box" which plays hymns and chants, which annoyingly wasn't working when we popped in - so that means we can go back - yes? This photos was taken from the </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">'Arboretum, Chemin de la Découverte'. Which has been having much work to the area over the last few years, and has about 1,000 different species of trees and shrubs, and 100 different species of Roses...now these are more established another walk in the Spring will be undertaken :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So back to discovering the delights of this little town full of history and for me surprises! Most people probably know about Melle, but somehow we never have the time just to wander, and especially with the camera at the ready!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With still plenty of time to spare and that wandering will I chose a road and walked it -- to find myself again somewhere we hadn't been for a few years! So many roads to choose, and really they all go around the outside of the Town square - but I have been to those shops and the Place du Marché many times so another road for me today!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">So I am not at the top of the path and find myself in company of two Gendarmes also making the rounds, the Mr. Gendarme had nearly slipped over coming up the path and was leading off about that, so me being me, pointed out that the steps in front of the Bread Oven are also very slippery and that I nearly went down but luckily didn't (my camera! and backside unscathed!) and maybe a notice placed to warn people in the area! Hmmmm this is possible I think was the response! Oh well, I did my bit!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So I then spotted a gateway in the wall and found myself following the Gendarmes into the "Hospital Gardens" the hospital is no longer situated in this part of Melle but has been moved to brand new facilities. So it's very quiet and desolate around me.</span></div>

And it's been very interesting! We have had rain, yes lots of it...but then we have had sun, beautifully sunny Spring like days...of course we cannot be having Spring days as it's still Winter! The garden is very happy though and the blossoms are enjoying this early warmth....I just hope we don't get a frost or snow now! </div>

The 14th of February - always brings a bit of fun into our lives, this year we had a very quick (in-car) picnic by La Vienne river - which gave me the perfect opportunity to take some photos of the river running high and fast!<br />

Sunday we had a good old family get together which meant a glass or two of bubbly and a very wet walk in the woods. I am hoping that all this wet weather will see lots of lovely bluebells this year!<br />

<br />
It is always exciting being asked to work with another business, I will be working closely with Laura and <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=565289136830490" href="https://www.facebook.com/MichaelWilliamHairdressing">Michael William Hairdressing</a>
over the next few months, promo photos & the Photographer for
their up and coming Fashion Show - Decades of Style, which has been set
to for 14th June '14 , in aid of cancer Support France! I am so excited
about all this - photography, filming, hair, fashion show can't wait!<br />
<br />
We will be having a few sessions on the run up to the show, which means lots of working with the models, the dry run will be the day of the show! But in the meantime I hope to get a few snaps of the shows progress!<br />
<br />
These are some promo shots for Laura - a girl of many ideas!<br />

When in fact just 2 weeks ago I was walking around our garden (soggy garden!) in the warmth of the sunshine with the dog and Lilly Kitty running here, there and everywhere!<br />
<br />
I spotted my first Crocuses in the garden which brought a smile straight to my face - there is something about the "first flowers" isn't there?<br />

and then of course there's the bird song accompanying me around whilst we are out there, the Blackbird seemingly has his heart set on the fact Spring is coming, and a Bumble Bee was buzzing around, albeit he was a tad on the wet side and he was huge and quite clearly trying to move!</div>

And then the rain came back - and then that rain turned to hailstones! But not just once over the last week or so but twice - in fact it was so windy on Saturday the door blew open - scaring the life out of us whilst we were re-organising the office - ok, so were were deep cleaning! And then the biggest hailstones I have seen made an entrance through the cat flap! And it didn't end there 1am and we had thunder...!<br />

Still it was lovely on Friday to hand over a Photo on Wood to a lovely family who are sadly (for me) relocating to the UK - their daughter is so incredible through the lens, she worked so well with me it was fantastic.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">And then my own personal surprise to start the weekend - a fabulous sale on the Redbubble <a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/papillonbleu" target="_blank">http://www.redbubble.com/people/papillonbleu</a> I sell a lot of my images through! and have enjoyed many sales over this years, but this sale was quite possibly one of the best, they will be getting a little bit of my "Life through the Lens"! and to be honest I think my photos will travel further than I will! I just wish I knew who the purchaser was so I could thank them :D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">French Wheels and Onions is one of the Select Colour images sold.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So we are into another week - and lots happening in the half term holidays when hopefully the weather improves and we can maybe just maybe take a little trip to the coast!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I do realise whilst I am talking about this awful weather that there are so many really suffering with floods and losing their homes, at the moment the Somerset plains are in dire straights - you only have to read this to realise how lucky we are here in our little corner of France! <a href="http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Daily-Press-backs-Levels-floods-appeal/story-20561461-detail/story.html" target="_blank">http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Daily-Press-backs-Levels-floods-appeal/story-20561461-detail/story.html</a></span><br />

We are in a New Year and I have finally got my fingers into gear and will try to actually be better at blogging from now on!<br />
<br />
The end of 2013 was great - work wise it was all very happening and we enjoyed some really fun photoshoots - all of which can be seen over on my facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotography/photos_albums">https://www.facebook.com/PamelaJaynePhotography/photos_albums</a><br />
<br />
When I look back I realised my last actual blog was written in October and I was actually playing catch up then as well! Well I am not even going to attempt to catch up 4 months worth so maybe a few photos could do it?<br />
<br />
The garden is at it's loveliest with the flowers enjoying the Autumnal weather!<br />

Well there's me thinking I would blog at least once a month....seemingly I can't even manage that now! BUT still I do have great reasons - work, work and a bit more work! Yes this summer has been fast and furious when not selling the photocards and Photographic prints at the Foires and Markets I have been sharing some wonderful days with fantastic couples and lovely families taking photos of their special time!<br />
<br />
I can't believe we are now in October - which means Toussaint in about 3 weeks time - 2 weeks half term holidays....I am pleased however as I am now getting bookings in for the pre-Christmas photos. As this year we are making calenders again and of course offering a "Family Calendar".<br />
<br />
August was brilliant we had visitors - my cousins we had 3 days of fun and laughter and catching up - always a good thing and I had a "masterclass" from a wonderful photographer <a href="http://gdphotographer.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://gdphotographer.co.uk</a> what a talented and passionate young man - and I would not hesitate to use him for any special events we have here! You can see his passion through the lens and he even managed to get a decent photo of us lot!<br />

<br />
We have been on some great bike rides - but we did plan on one around part of the <a href="http://www.maraispoitevin.com/" target="_blank">Marais Poitevin</a> - it's a must! if you love cycling and walking then the routes are fantastic. Clearly signposted and go on for miles of nature at it's best - yes you do have to cross the odd road every now and again but it's still easy to get around and see the area.<br />

But we were soon on our merry way thanks to a very kindly gentleman that wanted to chat and guide us - we ended up following a pretty route and so glad we didn't find the shortcut - which we cycled past some 5 kms later!</td></tr>

Where has that time gone? Well thankfully I can still just about remember.....July was fab we had a lovely month - both the girls at home and lots to look forward to! It all started on the 5th July......I had been planning to take my dear husband to a really special place here in the Poitou Charentes - <a href="http://www.underthelimetree.com/" target="_blank">Under the Lime Tree</a> we have met the lovely Nikki a couple of times and last year she was giving 10 minute massages at an event - that was my first taster and seemingly I needed more ;) SO with great finesse and mystery I arranged the day with her. Rob didn't guess a thing until he saw the sign post and then it was me saying "wow - here we are and we have the Hot Tub and then a full hours hot stone massage to look forward to plus lunch!!" all in one breath I was so excited - this was the first time we have celebrated our Wedding Anniversary since our first one so to celebrate our 22nd in our special year (girls 18 and 21) seemed perfect! Of course this will now be a yearly event!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I call these "Sun Daisies"<br /><br />The 14th July another beautiful day dawned and we decided to go to Poitiers to see all the "Spectacles" that were going to be on during the day! SO off we went with 2 things in mind where to eat and what would the day hold.... well I can now tell you - umm well ok - here goes there was nothing on during the day at all! Apart from a band which we missed and a clown creating a story which I have to say thankfully we also missed! Nothing was open as of course it wouldn't be on a Fête Nationale so we decided to head back out of the heat after walking around this beautiful town and have an ice-cream - best decision of the day :D<br />

On realising that the fireworks didn't actually start until 22h00 we thought we may just as well head home - have a bbq and then pop into Lezay to see the fireworks which are always good anyway! So we did just that! I can safely say the evening went of with a pop, whizz and bang and we narrowly missed a collision with a rogue firework that came into the middle of our crowd! Thankfully no serious damage done to anyway - just a tender spot on my head and a very shaky camera hand after.... still it was very pretty - even if the music was a bit strange!</div>

Heray - so my daughters and Dad took her out for lunch to Lambon a local big lake and restaurant but in true Sunday style they were booked out! So they then joined us at La Mothe, and enjoyed a lunch courtesy of Kate who runs <a href="http://www.laboitedelicieuse.fr/" target="_blank">La Boite Delicieuse</a> a mobile Burger van which is I have to say - fab :) Anyway back to Mum's Birthday BBQ - the sun shone for most of it - apart from the very strange rumble of thunder and then it was back to sunshine! </div>

Excuse the next amount of photos - I love, love, love Horses and Donkeys but since living here in France we have fallen for the Baudet Poitou which is the donkey of the area <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poitou_donkey" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poitou_donkey</a> (thanks Wiki) We also stumbled across the Baudet Mule and the Poitevin Horse - eldest and our where in our element here and then we discovered they had two baby - one was a month old and the other a mere day old!! The owner is such a lovely man and we hope to visit him sometime!</div>

We were at Asnois bright and early at eight o' clock in the morning and set up - ready to go and waiting for the crowds, which didn't arrive but we had lots to keep us occupied in the ring opposite the PJP stand.</div>

And during this time we had such a wonderful surprise - Two friends came over with their Nanny and Grandad - we haven't seen them at all during the last nine years - the last time we saw them all four girls were under twelve! Nine years seems a lifetime in friendship and our four were pretty tight knit having been brought up together, the next four days they spent together catching up and to be honest they didn't stop talking the whole time or so I was told! We loved seeing them and can't wait for their next visit! </div>

I also took delivery of my very fist Box Brownie this month as well - so excited - I have many plans for it - mainly as a prop as of course using it may be a bit extreme ;) But still I am thrilled and look forward to it making a proper outing!</div>

So in a nutshell that was July...thank goodness for photos to help jog the grey matter! I am sure many more things did happen with the odd event in between and huge thunderstorms but I don't really want to remember them....the thunder and lightning and sleepless night - not funny!</div>
