We enjoy leisurely driving through France on the D roads, avoiding the motorways, seeing all the small towns and villages, before any holiday or visit. This summer we have noted the gorgeousness of all the floral displays that even the quietest places have- roundabouts covered with flowers and sculptures, huge planters, massive baskets of petunias and geraniums. Driving through Auxerre you can see swathes of colour coordinated beds and borders worthy of a stately home. Absolutely gorgeous. Do any French or Francophile grans know whether local councils employ municipal gardeners to tend all this loveliness? What about theses tiny villages? How do they keep these displays watered etc? Thinking about where I inhabit- the local pub has some nice planting but the communal parts of town has little or nothing - there are some planters at the station which people tend to use as rubbish bins. Are there any towns or villages in the U.K. which have lovely displays? Iād love to see them.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
