Disney - the clairvoyant!
We had a mini tea party & sandwich lunch at Whitegate. It was an all girls affair with friends Sheila, Betty, Janni, Helen & Katy. As you know this blog links to Helen's blog. She made the most beautiful cherry & almond sponge cake with iced carnations -
Just scrumptious.
Polished & ready for service
A little bunting never goes a miss!
Our Summer holiday this year was in July & France was our destination. En route we stayed with my cousin Alice and her husband Richard (Fiona 16 & Edward 11) in their beautiful farmhouse in Chelsfield, Kent. I don't know why I don't have any photos....
We journeyed on via Giverney to see Monet's garden! It's long been on my list of places to visit and it didn't disappoint!
Our final destination was a charming 16th century manor house, owned by a very hospitable Jean-Louis Mainot & his wide Christine. The house was in La Chartre-sur-le-Loir, close to the river which is a tributary of La Loire.
We awoke to this on our first morning:
& overall had a very happy, lazy time :

hope he didn't have to work long into La Nuit -
And here are just a few more of our snaps for Le Manoir. We hope it won't be long till we can return:
During one of our few day trips we visited the famous Cadre Noir at Saumur
