Hibou ...

.... which is the French for owl and it was in France where I bought this owl many. many years ago as present for my parents whilst staying with a French pen-friend near Toulose. 

Today has been a quiet day - made soup, tidied, did an on-line yin yoga class (super-relaxing) and continued making plans for an autumn trip to France. 

MrT is current cooking dinner for which we will be joined by friends (A&M) who have a house in Edradour.
