I went into Rodez Sunday and there wasn't that much snow around -- just slush.

This photo is nothing slant-wise -- I hadn't even noticed I had walked up a slope. That's the way Rodez is. For that reason, it's not a very good biking town.Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-47445673781145492912008-12-14T05:39:00.000+01:002008-12-14T05:39:00.000+01:00Shutters - I love shutters whatever the colour.

Wood or metal, freshly painted or crackling, they look so romantic to me. I'm not sure why that is, but it's what I notice.Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-76332269565058815292008-12-13T12:51:00.000+01:002008-12-13T12:51:00.000+01:00Electricity, telephone.
