When is enough, enough? When does enough, become more then enough? How much ‘stuff’ does it take to live a life? The dividing answer would indicate ‘It depends’. There can be an infinite number of arguments to justify having and keeping hold of more than enough. It’s all relative, isn’t it?
Accumulation of life’s unnecessaries is the 20th & 21st century’s norm. Ask any children who’ve cleared out a parent’s belongings after death. Yet ever since the first possession was created, man’s intrinsic nature has been to keep and keep hold of.
Although, when it comes to those we consider to possess obscene wealth, then it’s easy to adopt a different attitude. Conversely, those who give up ‘worldly’ wealth are often seen to be truly human and admired. Especially, when dedicating their lives to those in need.
Since retiring, we’ve always considered our day’s of MOHOing a wonderful privilege. A blessing that continues to enrich our relationship and one that we never take for granted.
Day 3 – 189k further south we move into warmer weather and Camping Tournefeuille situated in the suburbs of Romorantin – Lanthenay.
Unlike us, the afternoon is still young, so we stretch off the journey along the River Sauldre. The calm reflections delight and enhance our there and back.
Day 4 – 60k east of Romorantin, astride the River Cher, paddles the Château de Chenonceau. Our pre-pitchup look-see. A wonderful decoration built on top of a fortified bridge five hundred years ago. Since then it’s been in the hands of the chequered royals and the rich. Only Versailles receives more visitors.
Like many owned properties of this ilk, the interior rooms are adorned with the lavish trappings of their time; huge tapestry laden walls, intricately carved ceilings, the occasional ‘master’ hanging here or there and of course the elaborate four posters. Although none of these are what draw our attention.
Every room has been ‘prettied’ with amazingly flamboyant and inventive flower arrangements.
On our way out we discover an incredible display of photographs. The theme is ‘In which country was each photo taken?’
Looks so beautiful ❤️
