That’s a sight I would love to see!. We don’t have migratory butterflies here.
Now I could have sworn I posted last night, but the post seems to have vanished so I’ll try again.
We flew to Montpellier on the French Mediterranean coast, picked up a hire car and drove to Uzès where we holiday frequently in the summer.
The weather on arrival was a comfortable 21C/70F and the sun was out. You fly into the airport low over the salt marsh and there were flamingoes pretty much at the end of the runway
Uzès (pronounced Ooz-ez) is a very old town with narrow stone streets.
Here’s JoesDad on the terrace of our room in the hotel as we sat to enjoy a glass of local rosé before heading for dinner
The tower behind is called the belfry
We have a little bat detector module that will connect to a phone and we had fun with that last night. We picked up two species we get in the UK (common Pipistrelle and Noctule) and one we don’t Kuhl’s Pipistrelle which daughter was quite excited about.
Today we shall be exploring the town and the market and perhaps finding some things we haven’t seen before... it’s easier to explore in March temperatures!

The ads not completely gone but at least I know how to get rid of the big one.
Smaller ones keep popping up in your posts though even though I have blocked pop ups on google chrome.
The weekend is here folks hope you all have a great time especially those travelling.
Have we worked out where everyone's going yet?
Lena and family are on a cruise ship heading north I think but is it a sea or river cruise?
Maybe the fjiords?
Linda used the French for 'let's go' so maybe that's a big clue?
As for Mark I've no idea where he is
Hopefully all will be revealed with postcards soon
I’ve realized unclicking all the things I don’t want to share my information with gets easier after the first half-hour. Maybe I should switch to Chrome too!
I’ll be on the ship as of tomorrow afternoon and back sometime on Tuesday. I should have decent cell phone and Internet coverage, so keep an eye out for Postcards!
Have to wonder if @Maro2Bear was posting from Rome...
All roads lead there, reputedly...
Thank you
She got a medal for it. Because nobody does anything worth mentioning about the climate change, and the kids say they may not have any future if nothing is done today. Check out Greta Thunberg, who was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Looks very civilised and a beautiful place.Now I could have sworn I posted last night, but the post seems to have vanished so I’ll try again.

I was going to ask if you had bats in the belfry and seems you do.
Have a great time - it's nice to see the same place in different seasons.
I’ve read the book, but a long time ago, and don’t remember that bit of the dialogue. Time to reread, and in the original language this time!

Will look forward to seeing those. Have a great time.
Blocking on Google chrome doesn't seem to work too well on TFO
