I went to the end of the world and came back, well actually it was a two night stay over at a friends home in Finistere, the name in Latin means the end of the world. Brittany is called Breizh in the Breton language and Finistere is Penn-ar-Bed (The head of the world).
The landscape is very different over there, in fact at times it is difficult to see any landscape at all since it is obscured by thousands of trees, miles and miles of forest, I guess it makes a change from miles of maize fields.
The garden has several ponds some are very colourful.

The garden has many large ornamental plants but also is home to many small bright summer flowers.

The French ~ To go and relax is se détendre
On the Sunday afternoon a BBQ was lit and people arrived for a pleasant and relaxing time in the lovely garden.
Some people met for the first time and sat around in the sunshine, others played in the shade by the water.

Many thanks TAF & Carol, I kinda like that one too. x
Great photos - you can feel the sunlight and happiness in them!
The picture of the kids and the dog near the stream is so summery! I also like that saying at the beginning of your post. Good one!
Isn't it lovely exploring Brittany - there are still lots of places we've meant to get to but not quite managed it. There is a kind of Bretagne torpor which means you want to do things but laziness takes over and another day is whiled away daydreaming on the balcony
it all looks lovely xx
Sounds very relaxing! That last picture is lovely!
Nothing like a pond to keep the kids entertained. Even now the big kid in me gravitates towards a pond. Love "a splash of colour" too.
What a wonderful post, I love the picture of the kids by the stream with the dog, fabulous and evoking memories of a wonderful childhood.
regards Dave
Brittany is indeed a beautiful part of the world I've just returned back from holiday from the very place. I'll return :) TFx
