Scuba Diving in a Newly Flooded Meadow.

If you're day is turning out to be a bit stressful or like me, you've been up since 5am and have been mindlessly wandering the internet. This video should relax, calm and soothe the savage [insomnia'd] soul.

un chateau pour savoie

For those of you who are uninformed, I have a lovely boyfriend who happens to be from Alsace. Given my penchant for daydreaming/fantasizing, my current situation leads me to dream of opening a bistro on a little cobblestone street, in the french countryside. Whiling away the evening hours in front of the fire in a little stone chateau equipped with an overgrown vegetable garden, and wine cellar where my select vintages age happily in the cool stone cellar.

Today I found just such a chateau online. Isn't she a beaut?

She's in Bauné, which I have no idea about but she's close to a little town called Angers, and sacré grace, what a place. Even little unknown towns in France, look like sets for the most romantic movie ever made...sigh

Picture credits of town of Angers. 1 and 3 are from Philippe Stoop. 2 is JThillie. 4 is Phillippe Vasseur. All of the Angers pics were taken from google maps. The chateau pics were from arkadia.com a real estate site.

Oh god! To be out of debt and purchasing furniture pour ma chambre. This would be bliss.
