I am very much behind on the August Break, so here is my crib list for catching up. I feel like the best plan at this point would be to post the images and curb the words in order to save time. This is not the approach that I had intended to take this year …

August Break 2025 Day 9: On the Horizon
We are a bit stuck for horizon here…
August Break 2025 Day 8: Circles
Having missed out on the lovely garden wall circles in Préfailles I was feeling stumped on this prompt too but it was amazing, once I had looked at a few recent images, just how many circles I had captured unwittingly.
Today’s walk was quite kind to me too, so I was able to “capture on the day.”

August Break 2025 Day 7: Miniature
I keep Babybels in the fridge at all times because we are following a low-carbohydrate regime. These small portions of cheese are a really good low-carb energy boost to keep me going until dinner time. I think these count as miniatures?
And, to complete my mini-break, some mini tomatoes go perfectly with the cheese.
August Break 2025 Day 6: Purple
Purple may well be my favourite colour.
August Break Day 5: Bookshelf
Not an easy prompt for me this one. I mean both that it isn’t easy for me to come up with a shot, but also that the idea of the prompt is distressing to me.
My reading these days is overwhelmingly via Kindle. I have one book open in my actual Kindle, another in the app on the phone, a third via the app on my tablet. I haven’t yet got around to setting up Kindle Reader on the new Windoze laptop… but I will.
Obviously this prompt required me to walk out into Rouans to find their book exchange. I did. I couldn’t find one! Can it really be one of the few French towns with no book swap!
