Bonnie led the walk in Rouge Cloître on Friday afternoon. We were "lucky" with the weather inasmuch as it did not pour down with rain. There were quite a few threatening clouds passed overhead but our luck held out. I think it was something to do with Margaret's magic jacket.
It is a long time since we walked through the Rouge Cloître area of the forest and I had forgotten how lovely it is. On the lake we spotted some swans with their young and we could not resist stopping to take a closer look. Fortunately we were far enough away not to upset them.
We walked on into Rouge Cloître itself and admired the restoration work that is taking place there. Once finished it will be absolutely stunning. We could not resist a "quick" visit to the glass workshop where there were all sorts of lovely things for sale but we had to turn down the offer of a demonstration - unfortunately no time. We had the rest of the walk to do!!
No coffee today, alas! The cafe is only open at the weekend. Bye for now from Rouge Cloître...
