Western Loire

I spent Friday afternoon on the train to join Leo in Western Loire for the weekend. This is a lovely area of France full of history and monuments. Leo drove me around and I saw:
A royal abbey (huge!)

Weird mushrooms including this one

Posh people having a picnic with real tables, real cutlery, real glasses and even candlesticks (although it was very sunny...!)

A man in white (probably looking for his lady - last seen in London near Shaftesbury Avenue) who would later drag Don Giovanni (left) to hell...
