Out and about in Pays de Calais Nord

While taking our cat sitting job seriously, we have had plenty of time to explore the region we are living in.

This is a farming area and everywhere you look there are multicolored fields in various stages of growing crops. As we wend our way through the back roads with the aid of our trusty GPS we usually come across at least 10 tractors of various dimensions with all sorts of equipment on the back.
We have learnt to have our lunch between 12 - 2 as this is when the farmers are all making a bee- line for home and food. Likewise after 6 and they are all traveling back home. It is sometimes very hard to pass on these tiny back roads, some don't even appear to be roads, more like a driveway!

Yesterday we came across the most beautiful village and stopped for crepes in a cafe/restaurant overlooking the river and the old mill.
Mmmmm nothing like it..... Oh and a glass of red.



Views like this every day.


Believe it or not this is..... A road.




Whew all this relaxing sure takes it out of you.....( Spot the pastry)
