On Monday, I visited a very nice garden in the Loire Valley called Les Jardins Haute Couture (Huismes). I highly recommend it! Come for the flowers, great cakes, cocktails, and the frogs! The owner is super nice too :)

So... I created a Discord server for The Abbess Garden 😱
Creating one was recommended by several indie friends and asked by some players, so here we are:

Many thanks to @wirdelle.bsky.social who helped me figure out what to do ^^
I hope you'll like it!

I was very happy to meet The Abbess Garden's composer, Laurene Telennaria, at a ren fair today :) It had been a while!
We work remotely and she is super busy with all her jobs (metal singer, harpist, game composer, jeweller) so getting to see her is very precious 💎

I like de Champaigne a lot! He works at Port-Royal Abbey a lot, so we use his paintings as a reference for our video game set in Port-Royal-des-Champs in 1643 (The Abbess Garden).
Here is @joylilworld.bsky.social's take on the Abbess Angélique based on Champaigne (younger, so a different dress)

They are very well hidden but my garden is filled with wild strawberries at the moment! They are very good, with a stronger flavour but more subtle than domestic ones (less sweet and acidic) 🍓🌿
