These photos are beautiful, and I am so happy for you that such a place exists in which you can restore body and soul, and even have a cup of tea!<br /><br />I hope your injuries are healing by the time you read this and that the smaller portion has not acquired a reputation as an abuser! My Mom recently had some eye surgery that created some amazing bruises on her face and was concerned to be seen in public. I kept telling her to say to anyone who stared "well, you should have seen the OTHER guy!"<br /><br />Thanks for all these photos!Gisizeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842508709852026701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-75496166743588448862011-10-11T09:31:13.476+11:002011-10-11T09:31:13.476+11:00Lou: I hang out to go every year.

One of my best experiences is visiting Versailles on the last day of the northern summer 31 August. Piped music - baroque mostly - seeped through the air on that glorious sunny day. The colours in Europe are softer than they are here...
