Summer in Normandy




We are long overdue for a Bonnard, and I love every glimpse I can get of the artist's garden and the thought of the lingering luncheons on tables set out under the green- and orange-leaved trees.  

I should watch again all of those French films with their idyllic French settings—A Sunday in the Country, Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, My Mother's Castle and My Father's Glory, Cousin/Cousine, Swimming Pool, and of course the Colin Firth scenes in Love Actually.
