A good day out...at the Garden Festival,

Yesterday along with Mike and Liz we made our annual visit to the International Garden Festival at Chateau de Chaumont-sur-Loire, We started the day with our usual bit of wine tasting followed by a good lunch at ‘Le Pied dans le plat'.

The festival delivered as usual with this year's theme being #Once upon a time in the garden.

Pauline was in charge of route planing with me sent out in front as scout and photographer. Our top three gardens were...

Number 15 'Le Jaedin des Songes where we loved the sculptures fashioned from white wire netting.

Number 13 'Hortus Pocus' with sculptures made from recycled material.

and Number14 'Le Jardin de l'Odyssee' where you look over the bow of a ship at a whale's tail fin. 

We did a 4.5 km around the 25 gardens but there was always plenty of opportunities for a wee rest.

Never been great at selfies!
