A vertical portrait of the river Charente in winter, with a diagonal reflection of trees and boats to the left, and a bare landscape to the right.

WINTER GLORY
This is the river Charente at Port d'Envaux in all its spindly finery, a time when boats hang low and trees wait for the warmth of spring.

A black and white photograph showing the roofline of an old maison de mâitre set in gardens under a menacing rain cloud. A break in the cloud has illuminated the house beneath.

RAIN COMING
A heavy cloud hangs over the river behind this house, which thankfully has a roof in good condition, a state of affairs not always found on an old French maison de mâitre.

The thorn in my side
Aches when cold, and you slowly
Take winter for your bride
