Janet's Walk from Dreve des Comtes

It was a typical summer's day: overcast, light drizzle, clammy ...

We met at Dreve des Comtes and walked to the Park Solvay and its lovely rose garden.

On the way we passed some interesting statues in the grounds!



Here we are - roses in the rose garden!!!  In fact we had a lot more colour among us than the floral variety which were being pretty shy of giving their best just yet.






On our way out we met this lovely family of Mandarin Ducks ... Mummy Duck had a bit of a limp which worried us, but otherwise they seemed unperturbed by our presence and carried on with their lives.




And here we are at the top of the steep climb out of the grounds!  Still smiling!


From here we meandered through the forest to the Tennis Club Intero where we were warmly welcomed back - it being our first visit there this year.  Next to us was a table of ladies in their 90s enjoying a regular game of Scrabble.
