White Wednesday - memories of last summer in France

I was looking through some photographs of our cottage in France earlier today. I miss being there, so I often sit here and reminisce. I was looking at photographs I took last summer, and I noticed a lot of pics which sort of featured white. And when my reading list showed lots of White Wednesday posts today, I thought, hey why not, show a bit of French summer whites, lol. They are just photos of the bits and pieces in the garden ( field really, can't call it a garden yet, lol ), nothing special, but they remind me of fun days spent there.

The chippy white paint on the little door to the wine cellar -


A sweet enamel teal ight holder -


One of the quintessential French garden chairs -


Washing line under the old false acacia trees -



My doggies' most favourite garden toy -


Gorgeous big white snail shell -


These grow everywhere along the hedgerows of course -


White courgette -


A stem on a very old rose -


A wasp nest, removed from my little caravan ( which will become my little craftavan this summer, woohoo ) -


Old white granite stone steps to a friend's house -


and the white mist filling the valley on so many mornings -


I think we will be off to France again soon, probably next week sometime. Can't wait.

I am linking this post to the fabulous White Wednesday over at Faded Charm. Drool, there are soooo many fantastic White posts to drool over, go have a look!

PS - I just finished my inchie for the Every Inchie Monday challenge as well, but THREE posts in one day is just too much for me, lol, so that will have to wait til tomorrow. xx

Hi Liz,
I love your whites. The one photo with the flower? That's a queen Anne's Lace and I use to use them as little umbrellas for my dolls when I was a little girl. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs,
Sonya
