While Stuart was busy at the leaders’ day retreat (Ok, this is on 4th October… I have been slightly busy lately), I thought I would take Jude to do something cultural for once. The Chateau de Prangins was the location of what was called a ’social sculpture’ by Catalan artist Muma, more info at (http://www.lejardindeslumieres.ch/EN/abstract.html).

The artist and 500 volunteers lit up the castle of Prangins with 60,000 candles, and it was really an amazing sight. It certainly made me want to go and actually visit the castle itself, which is a museum portraying the life of people who lived in the mid-18th century, with gardens and a ‘kitchen garden’ (vegetable patch I suppose, only massive), also kept as it would have been in 1730s. Fascinating stuff, and lovely shots.

Pretty fairytale-ish and so impressive there were thousands of people visiting.

I propped Jude up so that he could see! So many LIGHTS!
