Easter is a special time for us, because since we came to Europe it has been a ritual to join my Uncle Michael, Aunt Irena and assorted cousins at their lovely country place in the Limousin. Le Fief has become our second home.
This weekend was especially poignant because we thought it was to be our last Easter with them (since then life has taken a lurch and we are staying after all). So there was a certain sentimentality to the weekend as we quietly said our good-byes. We ate and drank sumptuously, which is to say, occasionally to excess but never with regret. Katherine's children, Felix and Sophia, are growing and becoming more and more part of the social life. We enjoyed a rousing game of Pictionary -- Felix contributing some wonderful drawings of pirates ships and kings and queens. And we took lots of walks through the blooming fields with Max.
Le Fief and the surrounding countryside provided, as always, inspiration for my camera. Hope you enjoy the results. View the photo set or watch a slideshow.
