Art in the Village and Animals in the Mountains


Yesterday Pa and I went for a long walk up a mountain for lunch and then back down again in the afternoon.
On our way up the mountain we passed through the village of Gorbio which is near to where we live here in France.
There were many interesting and fun things on people's gates in Gorbio.
One gate had a sculpture made out of bits of metal and tin. It was a sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon.
On either side of the gate the owners of the house had made a knight and a lady and the lady was made out of broken pieces of pink pottery pigs. It looked wonderful and it was in the shape of the lady.

When we got to the top of the mountain where we had lunch in the village we saw lots of cats and pretty painted pot plant holders.


Then as we were going back down the mountain through the fields we came across a lot of very happy sheep who were laying in the sun and eating the long grass near a stream. We made sheep noises and they came running to the fence to make friends with us.


Then when we got home all the doggies were so excited to see us but we were so tired after our walk all we wanted was a cold drink and to sit down.
