Provence Tayl's

On Friday we were invited to lunch with a couple who have lived here over 12 years. It was an idylic afternoon, they have a very pretty, restored farmhouse in 17 Acres, we sat in the garden and enjoyed a lovely lunch and three bottles of wine! We left at 5.30 - that's what I call lunch! Of course we felt very guilty not working on the house but hey ho!



On Saturday we were invited to 'after lunch tea' joining friends for coffee and gateau. Another couple,from the Alsace were there, amusingly they are call 'Alsaciennes' or as we call them, alsations. We conversed in French and it was nice to feel that we had advanced in our language skills to get by!

In the evening we had 2 couples around for dinner and as ever Karen created a lovely meal. I confess I had a slightly Saint Emilion head this the morning! But it did not stop us working almost all day in the garden at the end of which, I had the years first swim in the pool - the water was lovely - 22degrees already.
