Today is the last day of my trip my flight late in the afternoon meant o could get one last photographic opportunity, this being Oradour a village situated about 30km away from Bussiere. The history of Oradour is one of horror, during WWII The Germans in retaliation to the French resistance capturing an SS general marched into Oradour and destroyed the village, round up all the men in the square and shot them, as if that wasn't enough they rounded up the women a...

And so coming to the end of my trip, today was a lazy day. I spent most of the morning in the garden staring into the distance watching the cattle roaming around the fields and editing my photos from the week. This afternoon I walked around the village but nothing seemed to be going on, the bakery was closed and the only thing that was open was a tobacco shop. Later on today we are having dinner and inviting over a man named Tom as it's his birthday. Other t...

Today has been quite productive. I was up early to attend the sheep Market in the village square, where the farmers all meet on the third Monday of every month to buy/trade sheep. They didn't seem to mind that I was around them snapping away, two sheep had gotten loose and that proved entertaining to catch them. Now this afternoon I have ventured to the outskirts of Bussiere to the even more rural farmhouses in search of some agriculture, I'm currently takin...

The farmers sheep Market again wasn't on today but it has been confirmed that it will tomorrow morning, third times a charm and such things. Yesterday was quite productive we traveled around Bussiere took some nice scenic photographs. In the afternoon we went to visit the 96yr old man Cammi who to say the least did not show his age, he lives on his own, grows his own food and drinks wine and pastice by the bottle. He was very welcoming but again didn't spea...

The weather is now sunny and I have had a chance to walk around the village and meet some people, though my French isn't amazing, the extent of conversation didn't go much further than hello, how are you? We ventured to the site of the WWII house which was over grown with brambles. Managing to get to the barn we discovered that it was more over grown than we first thought. After 30 minutes it was decided to give up, I took a few pictures but nothing to shou...
