As with the entire world, we too are suffering from the results of climate change. We are having one of the hottest and driest Augusts ever. This photo is underneath the bridge over the Loire river. Normally, there would be water flowing through this section closest to the shore. Other sections still have a trickle of water but you'd be hard pressed to pass through in a small boat or even a canoe. Businesses and private residences are under water use restrictions. Agriculture, including the wine making industry, is taking a huge hit. Fortunately, our region has not yet been hit with fires as have other regions in France.
That's the one part of Summer I don't like, we are in late Winter here and the whole country has had flooding.
