All the way to Aubigné

On Sunday we went on a bike ride. I had my best buddy with me this time although he does tend to race off miles ahead even though I should have my bike riding muscles by now.

Liz had told us to go and have a look at a small village nearby called Aubigné where some friends of hers live. It was a very hilly road but we finally made it and it was really worthwhile.
We had passed the signs often but not turned off the main road. There was a Chateau with a lovely garden behind the Church.
A donkey near the Church.

A great old tractor.
A bloody gorgeous Manoir... An even more gorgeous Abbey..
With a Juliet balcony.
And a series of sensational bits of topiary in the cemetry.
