Charming house in the pretty village of Montauriol. (Feels good to be out and about again, confinement ends on 2nd June though we’ll still be cautious for some time yet.) #frenchvillage #frenchhouses #lotetgaronne #igersagen #architecture #montauriol
The hydrangeas, particularly the oak leaf hydrangea, doing really well this year, creating privacy for the veranda from the entrance drive. I have put up the bunting made from Malawi fabric which my son gave me, feels festive! #hydrangea #hydrangeaquercifolia #gardens #gardening #veranda #verandaliving #frenchfarmhouse #colombages #mygardenthismonth
Milly, the rescue dog I brought with me from Johannesburg, feels right at home in the barn veranda. The colourful Frida Kahlo cushions on the wicker chairs and the green rug I brought with me from Joburg too. #veranda #verandaliving #tombeboeuf #igersagen #lotetgaronne #oldfarmhouse #colombages #frenchfarmhousestyle
#tbt Four years ago today, we bought this old farmhouse in SW France. The first picture was taken one year ago & the second one 4 years ago today. There is now a swimming pool where the lawn was, flowerbeds and fountain where the road was, the out building has been renovated & provides dining and entertainment space in the shade by the pool, the hedges have been tamed to provide views of the surrounding countryside. A lot of hard work but worth it. Love rescuing old houses and gardens; this is my 14th I think. #frenchfarmhouse #lotetgaronne #igersagen #renovation #gardendesign #tombeboeuf #frenchcountryliving #oldfarmhouse
Poppies by the wheat field beside the house. The 3 cypress trees on the hill often feel like a beacon welcoming us home. #frenchcountryside #lotetgaronne
In the morning light, the view across the valley. #nouvelleaquitaine #igersagen #frenchcountryside #lotetgaronne
The scent from the dark red roses as one passes under the arch is amazing. Rosa “Le Grand Huit”. #roses #redroses #legrandhuit #frenchfarmhouse #igersagen
Another lovely waterlily from Latour-Marliac, interesting leaves too. #latourmarliac #lotetgaronne #letemplesurlot #waterlilies #nymphaea #nenuphar
There’s a very steep hill to climb when we walk from our house but at the top one is rewarded with this lovely view of the church and windmill at Tourtrès. #countrywalks #frenchcountryside #tourtres #windmill #moulin #igersagen #nouvelleaquitaine
Lilac shutters by the banks of the Lot River. #castelmoronsurlot #frenchvillage #shutters #nouvelleaquitaine #francelovers #igersagen
Waterlily season and these beauties were from my visit to the nursery at Latour-Marliac, founded in 1875 and where hardy water-lilies were first hybridized, suppliers to Monet’s famous water garden in Giverny. #latourmarliac #waterlilies #nymphaea #Monet #Giverny #nenuphars #igersagen #letemplesurlot #lotetgaronne #nouvelleaquitaine #total_gardens
