My gardening skills definitely need some refining

My gardening skills definitely need some refining but some how by fluke, I managed to grow this incredible Dahlia! I even managed to loose the plant name stake in the mess of weeds in our potager, so now I don't even know what this is! All I know is I love it, and I need more next year!! Any idea?

A throw back to just before my parents left last week, in between check-outs and check-ins, we spent a wonderful moment on our local beach, watching the girls playing for hours in the sand, spending time as a family.

I spent my childhood growing up by the sea on the south coast of England and the sea is what drew me to this part of Normandy, it feels so nostalgic, funny how I found a place that felt so familiar just across the channel.

The last time my parents were here 15 months ago, they spent 18 days working non stop to help us finish painting and decorating before we opened our guest house. Little did we know that we would be kept apart for so long, or we probably would have drunk more wine and worked less!

One thing we've come to understand during this adventure is that taking on a chateau renovation either requires very deep pockets or patience, stamina and very willing, helpful family! I realised this summer that my parents had been to stay with us 4 times before and had never even visited Honfleur, which is 5 minutes down the road!!

Thankfully this time they've been able to stay for a whole month over the summer to make up for lost time, enjoy a little more and I've loved showing then some of our favourite parts of our stunning Normandy region. Having said that the extra help with the girls over the summer has been a game changer and the gardens are finally looking a little smarter after Dad spent at least part of everyday tackling our weeds and tidying up our neglected potager!

After 4 amazing weeks, yesterday we had to say goodbye, and now our side of the chateau feels very quiet again, but hopefully they'll be back in a few months, after all we've already got a list of jobs for them!

It's hard to believe we're already at the end of August but tomorrow is the last day of the girls school holidays before 'La Rentrée' and they start a new school year!
It's been a busy summer and we've had so many wonderful guests, including my family but we're not quite ready to let go of summer yet.
September is always my favourite month here, it's the month of new beginnings, a new school year and a new year for both myself and my first born as we celebrate our birthdays. Honfleur is also much quieter, but we can still expect some lovely warm weather.
We still have some availability for this month so if you were thinking of a late summer escape then check out our calendar on our website www.lefleur.fr or find the link in our header or email us contact@lefleur.fr

We're into the full swing of our busiest time of the year here, the chateau is full of lovely guests from all over, French, Dutch, Belgian, Italian, Austrian, Portuguese a real cosmopolitan melting pot of cultures and languages in our little corner of Normandy.
Thankfully my parents have also arrived from England, after what felt like a very long 14 months apart. It's been wonderful catching up, for the girls to have some much needed grandparent time and for us to have some much needed help with childcare and also tackling the weeds that have got slightly out of hand in the gardens. I think my Dad may have even saved some of my Dahlia's in the potager so I can finally add them to the breakfast table posies.
