The owners of Lanquais are bravely trying to maintain their chateau. They now have a ‘Friends of Lanquais’ society. It is a really interesting visit as it isn’t polished perfection.

Woke this morning to see this group of deer calmly grazing in our lower field. They didn’t move off even when they became aware we were watching.

Inspired by the water lilies at Latour-Marliac, the nursery from where Monet bought his water lilies the vasque on front terace now sports a tropical water lily that will have a beautiful purple flower.
The photo above is one from the garden nursery.

Visited a farm where the farmer has added Irises to his range of crops! So beautifully pesented it is no wonder he does an excellent trade. He delights in people enjoying his ‘garden’ and even has a designated picnic area.

Yesterday was spent picking, preparing and making elderflower cordial for the summer. The blossom is fantastic this year and we thoroughly enjoyed the glass of cordial watching the sun set.
The elder flower nearest to the barn above is very heavily laden. Hopefully some excellent elderberries in the making.
