It was our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary today - how did all that time pass?
It's been really hot today (31C) and the afternoon gradually subsided into a thundery, humid evening.
We did no special things today but this evening we had a barbeque and ate outside with a bottle of Limoux sparkling wine from our Pyrenean holiday.
The menu was:
Selle d'agneau (saddle of lamb) with rosemary and garlic
Baked potatoes
Green salad (lettuce, beetroot leaves, spinach, parsley and chives) with walnuts, garlic and shallots
Cholate éclair with raspberries and strawberries
The lamb came from a farm in Noyal Muzillac so less than 3km from us, the éclair 2km from the village bakery and everything else less than a hundred metres from our garden.
Low food miles :o)
This blog is about our experience living in France as we complete the renovation of our property, battle with French bureaucracy and enjoy living in this stunning environment. La Basse Cour is in southern Morbihan in the Brittany area of the west of France and we have a 1960 house, a 1798 stone barn and 6000 m2 of land.
