dreaming of french chateaux

  Day dreaming is fun; an idea tucked away in a corner of our mind, ready to be brought out and toyed with during the quieter moments of the day.

Here are a  few images for you to hold in your mind today and dream about.

All over France, there are chateaux for sale, some in a better state of repair than others, many in  dreamy settings, or with fabulous outbuildings.

This 18th century chateau is for sale in my part of the world.  I am amazed by its size, not exactly my idea of a cosy family home, but there is a beauty and a splendour to its architecture.

They say it needs work but can be lived in.  I am warmed by the signs of the original woodwork and detail, untouched by the centuries.

The views look outstanding, and the library .... well what can I say?!   Just imagine reading here, or blogging from a desk in that room!

No more words from me ...  I leave you to enjoy your own dreams, imagining how daily life would be in a chateau such as this.

And finally I have an apology for you, dear bloggers.   Yesterday one of my regular readers wrote to me, very kindly, pointing out a couple of spelling and grammatical mistakes in my latest post.  I know that this happens now and again; life just catches up with me and I don't always re-read myself with enough care.

I prefer to be corrected than for the mistakes to remain, so if you notice something and you have the patience to let me know, then thank you, I'll do the necessary straightaway.
