Views of Tarn et Garonne

Here are some photos I took 2 weeks ago, while I was out in the small town of Negrepelisse with the Cubs. First the Cubs and Leaders looking happy because they found the sword Excalibur (in the Boulangerie, why not?!)
 Reflections at the stream
 A typical "pigeonnier"
Back home, Jester Teddy takes a rest, wrapped in the Montauban Phoenix Cubs "necker"...looking very like the Saltire, I always think......but also with his UK Girlguiding Centenary one of course!
