What do you do when you have the chance to spend some quality time with a special girlfriend?
A childhood friend has some to stay and I am HAPPY !!  She wants to ride (good), eat well (of course!);  hunt brocantes (twist my arm!) and .... paint!
What a good idea this is!!  I can't possibly leave the dear girl all alone,  so this morning we both packed our painting gear, fold-out chairs,  a picnic and headed out for the river
We quickly found a spot that suited us both, checked out the various viewpoints; 
then settled in for several hours of pure bliss!
not too much traffic 
bearable views 
no phones!  
This is something I shall be doing more often. 
Anyone want to come and join me?!
