Monet's garden






Have just returned from 2 weeks on the road (and under the Channel!), taking us to new and exciting places in England and France. The first selection of photos is from Claude Monet's garden(he's the famous French artist who began the style of painting which came to be known as impressionism)at Giverney in Normandy. The place was infested with elderly (older than us) tourists but the gardens were superb. Monet himself looks like a cranky old bastard from the photos (well he is French) but his paintings are pretty good.

Dad and Lorraine,
all of these photographs are truly magnificent! I envy both of you for being able to access such amazing places. You look like you are having the times of your lives. I miss you both dearly. I can't wait to see you.
