Ironing

We needed to make a little trip to Montbard, about an hour from where we are. It’s such a pretty little town, and it was a scorcher of a day, which made the trip even more beautiful.

It was a slow morning, and we took time to enjoy a coffee or two in the shade, which was a perfect spot to people watch and practice our French on the locals.

After our coffee break we wandered around for a bit. The town is full of gorgeous ironwork, of such different and unique styling, clearly depicting the different periods it dates from. It all looks stunning against the striking blue sky, and amazes me yet again at how much effort and care they invest in the beauty and style of their houses.

This little house was an absolute gem, nestled in a stunningly beautiful garden along the side of the river. The ironwork and conservatory were not the only delightful features, they had a rather spectacular mosaic on the wall below the balcony as well.
