Chateau de Saumur

Since we drove past this chateau on our way to Brézé yesterday we decided to take a look round today. The Samur Chateau situated on top of a hill overlooking the Loire River and looks very impressive. There isn't much left of the original furnishings since it was all removed many years ago when they turned it into a prison. Instead, it contains a museum of antiquities that have been donated over the years.

We'd noticed Herman's wing mirror has got worse so I had another look at it. I managed to correctly removed it so that the four screws that hold the mirror on to the body could be seen. The top two just spin when they are tightened which means that only two are holding it onto the body! I managed to fix it temporarily by wrapping a strip of paper around the screws and then tightening them. It'll probably fall off the next time it rains but for the moment the job's a good'n.

The rain has been trying today but it's mainly been a sunny and overcast day.
