Bonjour from a very sunny SW France....
{fabulous parasols in Sarlat, a village not far from Maison No. 20}
Today is going to be another hot day in SW France and the forecast for the next couple of days is for more of the same...
Tomorrow is a holiday here (Lundi de Pentecôte)so locals and tourists alike are making the best of the sun while it lasts.
Yesterday we went to the garden centre along with what seemed like 1/2 the population of France. I have bought some fabulous geraniums for our window boxes so my plan is to plant these this afternoon.
Last night we had a picnic dinner by the lake and tonight we are having a BBQ on the terrace at Maison de Poitiers.
What are you doing today?Que faites-vous aujourd'hui?

We went to a Greek Festival here in Brisbane - plenty of octopus and honey puffs! I fell in love with Sarlat in March this year, wish I had known about your shop then. Fantastic post.

Your day sounds so much more exciting then mine. Very hot and humid on the coast so will probably work on designs and even take a few naps. Have a wonderful day! I love the red parasols.

What a lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteI'm also planting today. Clouds just moved in, so I am hoping to beat the rain.
We are also enjoying the most beautiful weather here in the U.K. ...and it's set to continue for a few more days.
ReplyDeleteI must get my green fingers into action as well !! XXXX

I'm staying home and enjoying the unusually cool weather for California. The heat will come soon.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is beautiful. I have got to see France someday.
What a perfect weekend! Mine was not so exciting :)

This image is so beautiful! It has gotten really, really hot here. So glad I've gotten my planting done and don't have to battle the heat. I went to a birthday party for my 7 year old niece tonight. So precious. Hope you had a great weekend and have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt is cold and raining here in Sydney. I wish I was taking a stroll down that sunny lane.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, sounds like la belle vie, Leeann.
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing photo! I've never been to Sarlat - but our next time in Paris, we will make a point of spending an afternoon there!
ReplyDeleteDoes anything cry out "France" as readily as a window box of red geraniums?!
Enjoy your holiday!
(so happy I can comment now! LOL)
To the hostess of the humble bungalow, we are 120 kms from where your friends are holidaying.
ReplyDeleteTo Robin, mille mercis for educating a kiwi girl on why "Mac" users cannot leave a comment on my blog and a grand merci for providing the solution to overcoming this.
To everyone else, merci beaucoup for all your lovely comments and I hope you are having/had a marvellous Monday.
Bisous, L
Oh so glad I found your blog! Two past trips to France canceled. Gonna get there some day.

ReplyDeleteJo
lovely...i am sooo ready for summer! would love to in france! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the parapluies rouge. The weather has been marvelous hasn't it? I just checked out the Maison des Pititers site - I didn't know you had a sister hotel! Both are beautiful, very well done. My honey and I had a picnic at Versailles, found a quiet spot and lounged all day - tomorrow it's back to work!
ReplyDeleteBonne semaine,
Mimi
It's been very hot in Miami for a while... that image is amazing!
