Thursday 3rd September 2009 Montchanin. C. du Centre.

Grey clouds with a few sunny spells. A small British yacht had moored overnight behind us. The VNF had been busy since 8.00 a.m. Mike decided to walk back down the towpath to fetch the car from St Julien as it was only 7 kms. I got on with the chores and made a quiche. I was getting lunch ready when he returned. After lunch Mike refilled the water tank from the tap in the VNF workshop. He asked the guy in the office if he knew which pounds would be emptied this winter, yes but not when, depends on the weather. He said Genelard would be OK as there was no work scheduled for that pound. Later we went in the car to take photos of the boat from the far side by Geoff’s and a walk along the path between the canal and the reservoir to take a photo of a strange plastic object hanging in one of the trees that Mike had seen on his walk back to the car. I had no idea what it was other than some sort of trap, a collecting device for something maybe seeds or bugs. The yacht went to be replaced by two cruisers.
