2.1 – Braving IKEA on a Saturday

We brave IKEA and Leroy Merlin on a Saturday to check our choices and to see the latest changes to the catalogues.

La Roseraie

The rose garden (la roseraie) in the Parc de la Tête d’Or has an abundance of flowers at the moment.

Our nearby park has a bee hotel. This structure, filled with drilled logs, hollow sticks and dried mud, provides a home for native bees.

A Little Coffee

This is a fairly familiar scene, especially as the weather warms up; people dotted around restaurant terraces to have a quick coffee, or to linger a little and watch life pass in the square.
