After a 10km hike in the pasture and woodland above Prats-de-Sournia, Jasper did not smell too good. Thankfully the good people of that village have constructed a rather elaborate water system that was perfect for washing him in. This is the basin of the first fountain above the village. The water then enters a channel to what appears to be a horse trough, from where the water flows through a culvert to the village 'laverie', the communal laundry house, where there was a large basin. Hopefully the village houses all now have their own Whirlpool, Hotpoint and Bosch machines, otherwise their clothes will be smelling of Jasper, and other things, for some time !
Oh! That boy is just a character! This is a marvelous picture of him! Glad I cannot smell the combination of wet dog along with the messes he rolled in!!
Fab! Wonderful photo of Jasper! Looks like he found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, at least that is exactly what our late and much lamented Labrador Ben would have thought. He loved water and would often be found shoulder deep in horse troughs.
