for about 50 meters at the start and at the end, otherwise we were on woodland trails and forestry roads.  Idyllic. Marie-Christine and Pietro lead the way, with Doug the dog in front Tree-house.  You can see Pietro's head on the right with his rope halter In the middle of the woods was this very cool tree-house, where we met some bikers who had stopped for a break.  Alexandrine offered to take a photo of me, which was very nice of her, so here I am grinning like an idiot over my shoulder. Alexandrine's youngster is a Lusitano, so her mane and the top of her tail have been clipped.  She's just with Alexandrine for breaking, and will be going home in about two weeks. After about an hour, Marie-Christine asked if Flurry would be ok to give the filly a lead home.  Sure, I said, so she bid us farewell and headed back towards Reillanne where she lives, but not before she offered to meet up with me again to show me around some more - yippee! Alexandrine and I were continuing through the woods when we came to a cleared area, where there was someone with a tractor and trailer, loading logs. "C'est mon Papa," said Alexandrine (that's my father). OH!! Does he sell wood?  We need to buy some for the winter! was my very enthusiastic response. It turns out he does, so we stopped for a chat and I got my order for winter firewood sorted
