Charade
Autumn has definately arrived.
We were invited out to dinner on Thursday evening at Véronique and Antoine’s. We bought the house from them, and they have been generous over the years inviting us to their new house in Chatillon sur Seine, which they have been renovating with exquisite style. Whenever they invite us to dinner they always try to introduce us to new people, with a mix of French and English speakers – such a great opportunity and a really good way to practice our conversation. Véronique is a wonderful cook, and Antoine a very attentive host, so everyone always has a very enjoyable evening. Thursday was an excellent evening with lots of chatting, sharing stories and laughter.
On leaving we realised that you can no longer go out without a jacket – Autumn had definitely arrived.
The salon at Antoine et Véronique’s - such a gorgeous warm welcoming room. Veronique has such wonderful french style.
Last night we lit our first fire in the salon since arriving in France. We sat down with our g&t’s and watched ‘Charade’. Appropriately set in Paris, I love to see all the old fashions. Audrey Hepburn looking gorgeously stylish.
Tonight it was red wine, Jonny Cash, then Hot Chocolate.
