Secret places






We were wandering around the village at the weekend and came across a secret garden tucked away down a side street. I can't believe we haven't seen this before! Next to a derelict house was a tree lined courtyard with  views over the valley. Down some stone steps was a hedge lined rose garden. Sam said it was a maze as there were hedges sectioning off mini areas. (I was so surprised by this find, I forgot to take photos of the the garden and view!) The garden and courtyard belong to the commune. This region is full of little surprises. We had to stop off at the bar for a drink after this tiring work :)
