Friday
Friday started with rain which set the tone for a fairly quiet day of washing, housework and a bit of exercise. We took Megan to the TGV first thing in the morning and had a coffee and boulangerie visit in Saint Cannat.
Had a bit of fun skyping action today too, always a joy!
We played some petanque on the lawn this evening and started what has become a lovely tradition of nightly apperitif by the pool.. aahhh!! Kir, rose, vin blanc??
Saturday
Markets again this morning and a visit to the next door neighbouring winery this afternoon. Am feeling sorry I didn’t listen to Lizzie earlier and get over to that winery... the wines are fantastic!! Sadly I am at the stage of having to focus on finishing the wine I have before I leave on Friday. Very sadly, it is not possible, or at least prohibitively expensive to send a case of wine home for future enjoyment... sniff!!
Happily, and I’ve been hoping for this, the blackberries are ripening! There are some bushes on the “petite avenue de Brigit”, the little laneway I walk down on my way to the bus, so I HAVE to stop and taste a few. They have all been delicious, except for the one I ate the other day which had an ant on it, who figured it would try to eat me before I ate him. Actually a bit of a challenge to detach it from my tongue!! hmm..
Watched some polo again this afternoon, I now have hundreds of photographs of polo matches, but I am loving using my new camera, the zoom lense is perfect for the action shots! Aperitifs by the pool this evening, lovely!
Sunday
A lovely lazy Sunday at home today, sorting out what to send home from france and what to take on to Switzerland and Budapest. I’m starting to feel very sad about leaving France, I have had such a wonderful time here, learnt so much and enjoyed so many wonderful experiences. Not to mention having met some great new friends! Am loving the evening aperitifs before dinner - it might make dinner pretty late, 9 or 9.30pm but still great. It is still staying light pretty late so it is important to make use of the time! ;)
