This room under the tower in Chateau Duras has extensive graffitti - look at the changing writing styles and dates. I could have stood reading these walls for hours.

French journeys

Table & chairs, early Morning view from a bedroom window. Near Moncaret, France



Pomegranates Nr Moncaret France, March 2005
These seemed to symbolise the end of winter to me, they were dry & split & empty - still on the tree but all around them the branches were shooting with the start of the new spring growth.
I read the story of Persephone as a child & its always stayed with me.

Table & Chairs, Chateau Les Milandes, Dordogne, France, April 2005


This was Josephine Baker's Chateau - its now open to the public & worth a visit. It was the first day of the season and the tables and chairs just set out and the gravel freshly raked. I liked the shadows of the trees cast across the gravel

Chateau Marquessac, Dordogne France, March 2005, Topiary Garden

This view from above onto part of the Topiary garden looked like a mini landscape in its own right - like something out of the wizard of Oz maybe?
