Monday's walk in pictures...around Barrou

The long lunch...

Friends over for lunch in the courtyard here at La Guerche yesterday arrived 12.30 left 6.30 time flies when you are having fun!

 

More music...

Last night Pauline and I headed over to the bar in Barrou to support the fund-raiser  for the "Note à note" Music School whose students put on a concert for us supported by some musical accompaniment by Polo. Chris and Gail had the same idea and cycled over from Le Grand-Pressigny so we were in good company for the evening.

I caught this sunset on the way back to La Guerche.

Pauline's birthday funday...

Pauline and I had a lovely day celebrating her birthday yesterday, we headed up to Loches for lunch at 'Le George' (our current favourite place) but to work up an appetite we had a one hour walk through the public gardens then over to the riverside promenade before heading for an excellent lunch at the restaurant.

Then it was back to La Guerche for a wee nap before heading over to 'Le Halle café' in Boussay to listen to Angie Palmer with friends. 

Pauline was presented with a lovely posy from Sally and delicious cake made by Alison.

Can you tell we had a fun day?

Another good day out...

Alex & Nicole joined us for a good day out yesterday - wine tasting,lunch plus a visit to the garden festival at Chaumont-sur-Loire.

It was Alex's mum's birthday yesterday so we raised a glass to her.

This year's Garden Festival theme is 'The garden goes to the movies'.

We also walked around the permanent gardens...

and then the chateau.

A thorn between two roses.

Guess where we were today?
