Picturesque Picardy

June 9th 
Setting off on a beautiful June morning near Grandfresnoy.  I always lead my horse for the first kilometre or so.

 The day was spent travelling through glorious Picardy countryside, along woodland paths...

and across open fields ..this was on the GR124 near Choisy-le-Victoire...

 A closed off section of railway line  on the GR124 near Epineuse, happily not an obstacle for a horse....

View across poppy fields towards Erquery..

 ...which is where we were staying at the St Ladre Stables  courtesy of Jean Erquery.
Mike gets stuck in mucking out the back of the lorry...

..which besides carrying Bolashak, doubles up as a bedroom..

 Jean outside his pretty French house...
