Tiny new beginning . . .

A dull old day in Bordeaux today so I stayed in till late afternoon.  I'm one of those travellers who feels no pressure to be out doing stuff every day.  'Being' is often my default state.  So selfish.  So delicious. 

Anyway late afternoon the sun emerged and I discovered an amazing park 10 minutes walk away.   'Grand' in the same way the French do boulevards and street art.

This huge tree stump caught my attention. An oak hundreds of years old.  Arborists had been watching it and discovered major signs of internal decay.  (see the extra photo) 

It was felled. And look what I discovered deep in the open cavity . .  .  Ahhh
