Popped out

Last night we popped out for dinner at a local restaurant in Essoyes. As we drove through Landreville we passed by a beautiful meadow of bright red poppies. Their delicate petals danced against the pale grey sky. The weather was threatening to rain, but we still decided to risk it and eat outside. It was warm, and it felt good being out. The restaurant has a wonderful setting next to the river, and the ambience is very pleasant. We both had the garlic mussels to start with, which were very yummy. Just as we were finishing our main course, the heavens opened and it chucked it down. We ducked under the umbrella, at which point realised that was not a good idea, as the lightning crashed above us. We ran into the restaurant to shelter from the ran, before deciding that it was probably time to head home.

It was a very beautiful evening.
