Walkabout

April. Time to get out into the parks, although this April has been spectacularly wet!

Beautiful borders

Here the Mayor's garden in Vitry has been beautifully planted and tended. It is too early for photos of the roses, but this border was worth a picture using my phone.

Bluebells

And there are bluebells in France! We have seen very few but these were in a park in nearby Chalons.







And in the same park, another rare bird, a 'space-age' toilet. Most impressed, and also in need, I approached it to understand its workings...

Modernity

As you can see there was a complex-looking control panel. It had an electronic display.

Use, don't abuse

There is audio help if needed. 

The seat is disinfected, washed, and dried after each use. 

The floor is cleaned too.

The control display said

"Pas Disponible"

or in other words

"Out of Order".
