Sunlight through bearded irises
Just a few more images today from the visit to France - this time just to show you what we did when we hung out at the cottage, rather than out-and-about, looking at interesting stuff. For myself, 'at home-from-home' time was some of the most enjoyable time of all. Time to just sit and stare at the beauty all around - the flowers and the wildlife - to listen to the non-stop song of the birds in the daytime and cicadas at night...to read, to write, to sip wine and break bread - just to be away from everything that busies me at home. I'll share more flowers with you another day - but for now, just enjoy a quiet place on the patio with me...
The Garden room leading directly onto the patio - my bedroom for the week. Several 'little visitors' (of the lizardy and toady variety) found their way through the door :-)
The view from my room
A glass of wine, a garden and a journal - recipe for a perfect afternoon
On other days, a light lunch before venturing forth
A constant 'I-Spy' of things to look at......house-leeks
Lizards
Shutters
Terracotta tiles
And on a couple of evenings...a fish barbecue treat...
From 'the cooks'
To 'the customers' - who just sat back and enjoyed the feast!
Can you see why I already long to return??
Those roof tiles- the texture and color...and you match the blue and white color theme perfectly, Roz! What a very pleasant place.

Boursin cheese is one of my favorites. Haven't seen the other things you had tantalizing us on your table. Looks like a wonderful visit (for the most part).

A bedroom that opens right into the beautiful garden? Where do I sign up? It looks wonderful Roz, and I enjoyed seeing the cooks and the customers.

Love the pictures of your trip.Thank you.
I lived in Saverne for several years and still have such fond memories of the food, the wine, but mostly the hospitality of the people.

Ah, Roz, I do so envy you, living just a hop, skip, & jump away from such lovely places as France, Italy, and the rest of Europe, actually! Wish I weren't an ocean and half a (very large) continent away! We could have such fun, jaunting around!
