Day 78, Thursday 31/5:

Another, dare I say it, lazy morning at home. After a very nice lunch of leftovers the sun returned from the clouds and we set out, this time with Evelyne to another garden, entitled ‘Le jardin de Petit Bordeaux’. It is a very beautiful cottage style garden with a walkway set out to lead one through all of its hidden corners. It was quite fun to explore. They certainly managed to cram a lot of different areas in without spoiling the feel of the garden. Interestingly a number of the hedges were constructed grown from Yew, the rare tree we had seen in Estonia. Once our exploration was complete, we had a chat with the owner and had a look through a number of photo albums that, amongst other things, showed the gardens being constructed. Unfortunately our impression of the man was downcast somewhat when he started to rubbish the other gardens in the area. For dinner we dined with Serge and Annie and had another excellent, very rich, meal. The highlight of which was cod mixed with a delicious filling and wrapped in pastry.
