Our day in Monet’s garden at Giverny was
perfect in every way – except I may have
taken a few too many pictures of Rachel (check the expression in the one on the right, below). I even had a chance to start these two sketches, unlike the first time
I visited Giverny, when I was so awed by the output of the dozens of other
painters who appeared to have been there since dawn, that I didn’t even get my
paints out. Even our lunch at Giverny was a big hit with both age groups –
les salades au homard for us and fish & chips for
the kids.
