PS from Jaulzy


One historical note for today. This picture is of the chateau which was just below us in Jaulzy near Compiegne. Our gite is hidden in the trees to the back right of the photo. If you are thinking that one could spend a few interesting days living around here, then be aware that photos do not tell the whole story. You cannot see ambience on the net and I could not help thinking whilst here just what would I do if this chateau were mine. One step outside and you quickly descend into a rural backwater or similar.
We are slowly learning to be just that little bit more careful about locations (or else our expectations are increasing the longer we stay here).
