A Sunday walk with a difference.

On a recent dog walk we were surprised to find ourselves
 sharing the lanes and tracks with some unusual traffic.
Bonjour!

Urban cowboy!

I don't know where they came from or where they were going.
Were they on the way to a competiton, in training, or simply good
friends out horse riding and carriage driving together?

What a great way to see the countryside!

Adieu!
All I do know is that it was lovely to meet them all,
 however briefly, on a Sunday morning in Normandy.

  10. Not a sight that we would see here in the states, unless of course, we would be walking in Amish Country in Pennsylvania (state) where the Amish don't use any modern conveniences at all. So, it looks like you had a lovely walk in the countryside.

  16. Great photos! Love the "urban cowboy" shot!

    One of the properties behind ours have horses. Occasionally, we'll see the kids riding along the property lines!

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!
