The princess and the pea

That was the theme for an open garden in a nearby village. We really didn’t know what to expect, but this was to be our first real day out for months so I was so excited to be going out. I had seen an advert in a local newsletter I subscribe to, and as it wasn’t too far away I thought it would make for an easy trip out

We started off with coffee at the market in Bar-sur-Seine, then tapped Rumilly-Les-Vaudes into the sat nav and off we headed. It was only 15 minutes away. The village was made up of some beautiful old historic buildings, they were mainly half timbered country houses, but the garden we were visiting was for a slighter younger house, looking very inviting with its bunting and open gate. You entered via a path along the side of the house, which opened into a rather fairy tale like garden.

It couldn’t have been a more perfect day out
