Paulette's walk in La Hulpe on 24th May

It was like a real cold and miserable autumn day today when we began to walk in the Château de la Hulpe parc. And yet  nature was luscious and green with yellow and reddish azalea bushes here and there.









We rediscovered the Davidia involucrata or handkerchief tree, native to China and best known for its striking spring display of floral brackets which resemble dangling handkerchiefs nesting on the branches.





  We also stopped to admire little cuddly calfs who were not straying far from their mothers.
