Time to return to San Souci. It was another day 34-36 degrees and I had again arranged dinner there (its not close to anything, so eating there is convenient and delicious!

This shows where the B&B is - in a tiny, tiny village surrounded mainly by wheat fields and sunflowers, right in front of San Souci, unfortunately not yet flowering.





The wines are local, Touraine, from a little winery nearby





Bien. Sunflowers in the mid-ground. Imagine them in flower.



An amazing display of aircraft contrails; all the guests were 'admiring' them.





Main was beef skewers



You wouldn't begrudge me a desert, would you - with all that chateau-ing? Grand macaron maison de jour and home made pistachio ice cream that really tasted of pistachios!



Brekky. The view



Blueberry waffles and cream ....
