Farewell St Aignan
... disconnected I decided to get up as the first bells sounded at the church up the hill. It was crisp and very clear. The full moon was just disappearing into the west as the sky started to lighten for the east. I did a Rocky type run up the stone stairs past the church and to the highest part of the chateau grounds.
