Touraine - from then until now!

This blog is an attempt to show some of the vast history of Man's prescence in the Southern Touraine.... from first footfall to the present....
especially in and around le Grand Pressigny area.... with special emphasis on life at and around le Moulin de la Forge.
There will also be occasional entries about time before man was here and when the area was at the bottom of a warm, shallow sea...

Some old fossils have just been discovered...

Just a bit of fun....
Some friends of ours, Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers have just released their latest video on the interweb ahead of their promotional launch....

It is a very well worked cartoon film with a touch of the Terry Gilliams about it...
and their musical style has close links to those of Neil Innes and Viv Stannishall and the Bonzos.

The link under the picture will take you to their Home page and the video.

Dinosaurs by Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers
The lead singer Dean is a quiet, unassuming allotmenteer with a very eclectic plot...
in fact, on the page that the link takes you to...
as well as the video of Dinosaurs...
there are the tracks of their second album "The Greatest Show on Toast" available to listen and/or buy.

Listen to "The Allotment Gavotte"... dedicated to our annual allotment show.

And on their first album, "Interspecies Disco" [listenable tracks are found on the CDs page] is a treatise on the treatment of "Flea Beetles"...

But let him loose on stage.... that's a different story....

Dean... the musical magician!


if you get a chance to see them live, please do!
