Relaxing in the cool

 Last night it drizzled - though the jury wasn't sure if it was cloud or yer actual rain. Whatever; bliss  to be cool. We missed the Fete du Vin since Fran and Clare had asked us to dinner with Louise and Norbert. No idea how the FdV went but will find out... our evening, however,  went tremendously well, on a roofed terrace by the pool with food that seemed to have been shipped in from a class restaurant.

It seems our hostess loves to cook - our great good luck, who love to eat:)






I'm not sure that it's politique to publish the menu but l want to be able to recall the meal--- which was gazpacho, salmon with quails eggs, brilliant cheese (runny gorgonzola, ancient comte, a comforting brebis) then jelly made of pink wine with red fruit and paper-thin-sliced pineapple, lashings of cream and a home made-liquor which has surely fried what was left of the brain cells...

what a way to go.

Big hugs and many thanks to Fran and Clare for all their inspired work.

Off to watch the Tour de France now. Its grey and overcast and its possible the cyclists are very relieved.
