In the morning I carried on with my decorating- it all takes so long!
In the afternoon I rode to La Gacilly. This is one of the places I always visit when over here.It is a very pretty little town,set on a hill,with small cobble-stoned roads full of art & craft shops selling items such as as stained glass,ceramics,paintings,windv anes,leather goods and lots of other goodies. Many of the shops have the artists working in them,so you can watch the crafts people at work.
Since last year a new tourist information centre has been built on the banks of the river. This includes a shop selling some lovely arty textiles as well as a couple of exhibition rooms-which this year have exhibitions of textiles.

Here’s a couple of the photo exhibits. These are in a new wooded walk.
This one is of the South American Rain forest & they have set the scene by having water mist pumping out as you walk by!
They have extended the photo exhibition a lot this year,as well as the wooded walk there are some new areas…
…as well as the photos on the side of the buildings as in previous years.
I go for a wander round all the shops, but most of the same as previous years.
This small sign next to a closed doorway catches my eye-the literal translation I think is” Wise Woman”,-perhaps someone with better french can confirm.
