The basil has gone crazy in the garden but it seems to be a little on the woody side so I decided to make a batch of pesto this morning.

If you’d have asked me 30 years ago if I would have popped a morsel of boudin noir (or black pudding as we’d call it in England) in my mouth.

The grapes are starting to form and after two weeks of almost daily rain, the weather has settled and things are looking brighter.

It’s been a wet, wild week punctuated with frequent heavy downpours, occasional hail and the odd moment of bright sunshine.

I made this for supper last night and it was so easy and so tasty I thought I’d share the recipe with you. My first blog for you, my subscribers.

And so my friends, today marks the last day of blogging daily. I’ve blogged now for 3 months exactly to the day and so it seems fitting to choose this day.

The internet flickered back on this morning. Just for a brief moment the livebox starting winking at me and then… it was gone again.

Up early to bake a loaf of bread and then a quick dash round to Louisa’s to check email and write the blog! Still no internet.

Big day today. It’s five months since I last had my hair cut and today’s the day. Looking forward to being pampered just a little

First job to day was to take the car into the garage. There’s a problem with the anti pollution thingy that needs to be checked out.

There’s a lovely spot in the garden that’s giving us real pleasure at the moment. By the border under the tilleuil tree, there’s a border.

Leaving it until the very last moment, I finally managed to sort out our tax declaration this morning with the help of our accountant about 8 hours before the deadline.
