A Night in the Castle


Tuesday 14 August - One of the main reasons for taking our holiday at this time was to be part of a large reunion of the people involved with Jean-Louis's student exchange to England. The "do" took place near Saumur in a picturesque Chateau. Ian, Mathis and I stayed in the main castley bit but there were also rooms in more modern buildings as well as in some wooden caravans. There were drinks and dinner and lots of chatting which we enjoyed as much as possible while keeping Mathis quiet and entertained. Luckily there was a nice grassy area and a duck pond which made an excellent walk to push the stroller around. Our room had a window which opened onto the courtyard so we had a lovely view of the gardens and we could hear the babbling of the brook that passed under the chateau.
