Hello Friends,
Feeling much better, after the nurse came and we had lunch we were off to the valley just two kilometres from home to take pictures , we went by car. And then to the garden center.
The picture are from the river « Oison » which ends in the river Seine.
The little house is the smallest town hall of France.
Imagine a wedding in that small house!
The family has to stay outside.
It is unusual to have a religious statue on a republican town hall
As here religion ans state are separated. I love this small river although I fall into it when I was little.
My grand parents’s garden had the river coming through It and all grandchildren have fallen into it.
The little green bridge reminds me of Giverny Monet’s garden.
You can also see some Normand cows brown and white in the valley. I would love to go to Monet’s garden as soon as possible and take pictures. It is a wonderful garden ! At this time of year it is full of all sorts and colours of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils...
Next the wisterias will flourish, some are going on the green bridge and them the water lilies on the pound with the reflection of the weeping willows.
On one corner of the garden you have a poultry with roosters and hens.
The first garden is in front of the house and then the second part with the pond you have to go under the road by a tunnel.
The house is wonderfully romantic. I especially love the kitchen
Yellow and blue with copper saucepans everywhere.
The table is set and there is a black big furnace with shining copper.
There is a living room with Japanese prints on the walls.
On the first floor you have a stunning view of the colourful garden. I can smell the perfume of the wallflowers....
The village itself has narrow streets full of roses on each side.
There is also the hotel and restaurant Baudy where all the painters
Used to stay.
As an end Monet is buried in the little cometary in Giverny.
I miss this garden a lot I was nice to go there, go to the painting museum and have lunch there. Hope I can go there very soon to take pictures of this beautiful garden .
