What a morning! Ŵe visited the gardens and the House of Claude Monet, famous impressionist artist, at Giverny. It was warm and sunny and the sun and light were just right to see the garden at its best. The lily pond was just as you see it in the paintings, the flowers were in full bloom and of course colour was spectacular. Inside the house, we were able to get a feeling for the way he lived. We heard the story of his life and the paintings, although not the originals, became very familiar.
This afternoon we are on the ship sailing towards Paris. We are up on deck on sun loungers, quietly cruising and resting. Bit of a dream really! We pass through villages, sometimes just tree lined banks, but all so quiet and smooth. Will try for a photo. My book is good and Simon is enjoying reading daily from "France" the book you gave to us Katherine. Will write again tonight.
