Summer is almost here and the long garden dinners have begun.

Lit by candles and a distant suspension hung on the green facade of the house, the tables are dressed in mismatched country and old crockery.

Flowers are omnipresent, in bouquets of wild flowers, painted on plates, embroidered on linens and printed on dresses.

A slight scent of citronella emanates to repel mosquitoes

while the smell of roast chicken mingles with the scent of herbs.
