More From Southwestern France
From top: Benjy hides under a bench with his ball... ... the church in the beautiful village of Lauzun... ... the children caught a lizard in the garden... ... the retro and colorful wallpaper in the stairs.
I love French wallpaper, I noticed that in so many houses :) My aunt and her husband have a house in Brittany with almost the exact same wallpaper in one room. Hope you're having fun ...
oh i see that benjy has been influenced by the beach volley @ the olympics?:)each photo is great and you really get the "feel" of your time there...(your posts are always fun!!). nancy
JILL - yes, it is very beautiful around here. My favorite part of the region is called GASCOGNE, and that's where you should go if yu visit the area. There are many, many lovely villages all over Southwestern France, with AMAZING churches, such as the one in Bazas, a major historical landmark.
I would definitely like to get together next time I visit France - I'm planning a conference trip next year in June/July to Cambridge, and will probably pop over to Paris to see my aunt and cousins and have a bit of a break. We should meet up then!
MANSUETUDE - Benjy is very much the star player but he loves nothing more than having a ball thrown for him to fetch. There are about 12-15 kids staying with us here in the castle, so Benjy is never, ever without a fan/pitcher...

Great set of photos! Love the Lizard in the jar. The Oracle shines. Does he share the ball, or is he the star player?

Oh! Fabulous images! You reminded me of my own lizard-catching days. And I'm glad to see Benjy making a needed appearance!
Enjoy you special summer!
