We have had a visitor for a week, a friend of mine that I have known for almost forty years. She has stayed with us in France before but not since we moved out of the village twelve years ago.
One of the many good things about having people to stay is that we have the reason to do "holiday stuff" ourselves; visiting places that we love and doing the touristy things.
Every year we visit the village of Chédigny, not far from Loches, where they hold an annual rose festival. We never tire of seeing the magnificent roses. The colours seemed to be even brighter on a fairly dull day.
Many of the roses have little plaques which say what the variety is and when it was first planted.
There are of course many other flowers as well as the roses.
