Lovely, you live in a tidier area than me Oldblueraincoat.
If we had building like that in these parts, you probably wouldn't be able to see them above the brambles and weedy undergrowth.

French Follies
A few more follies seen recently - This looks like an old windmill converted into an interesting home in Haux
Then this unusual hairdresser/junk shop in Marsas
Resurfacing diver in a small wood alongside the Garonne at Begles?
The Pigeonnier at Saint Felix de Foncaude

Re: French Follies
Love these photos but especially the cow and the owl - is it possible that I've seen the owl on a TV programme as a place to stay for a weekend break?

Re: French Follies
I'm really envious - everything interesting round this way is really messy, not all nice and clean and tidy like the places in your wonderful photos.
