We are staying in a B&B just north of Uzes in a tiny hamlet of honey coloured stone. Our hosts Jacques and Yannick used to own a chateau in the Loire with a hectare of garden but after a grim winter of rain they left behind their rose garden with 120 varieties of roses and moved south to Uzes to this beautiful manor house. Every morning we sit in the courtyard and drink tea out of antique Sevres china cups and in the evening we have an aperitif by the pool. The garden is secluded and peaceful and our hosts are courteous and helpful, the perfect place for a tranquil start to our holiday.
Such bliss. Raise a glass for me please.
ReplyDeleteRosé...of course...
DeleteOh how heavenly.
ReplyDeletePlease, please post a picture of the teacups. The jewel colours and exquisite painting of Sevres porcelain gives me a turn. I live in hope of finding a teacup at the carboot....
Alas no pics of the Sevres...not even the monumental sugar box...we will have to go back.
DeleteOh and YOU'RE BACK. Bloody excellent.

DeleteLadies, you are too, too kind *fans self*
DeleteHeaven! We had a lovely holiday near Uzes a few years ago. Beautiful area. Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteThank you - we did have a lovely time although we ate and drank too much and lay around in the sun discussing how shockingly lazy we were being.
