Easter greetings from Chenevaux

 Happy Easter!


Chocolate eggs with little chocolate fish inside appeared as if by magic this morning ... and didn't take long to disappear as if by magic too, mostly demolished by the magician himself with some help from his willing assistant of course.

The spring has been wonderful and the garden has transformed in the past few weeks from early blossom and bare trees to bright green leaves and even roses in bloom.  We can't remember seeing roses ever before at this time of the year.  The wisteria has been magnificent and now the lilacs are in flower with their gorgeous perfume.  I'm just a bit worried that everything is going to fast it will all be over by May, but of course there's always more to come.


There were two local brocantes today, at Angles sur l'Anglin and Merigny ( no sight of Richard E Grant ) and we found a croquet set for children so they can play alongside the grownups, and some rather cute toy cars for our little visitors.


This vintage motorised bike caught our eye too, but on second thoughts ..... no!


 Summer and holidays are just round the corner!
