Arrival

We woke Thursday to a rather grey and drizzly day. Our friends were due to arrive for a long weekend stay over the new year, and we were expecting them around lunchtime. A few last minute jobs to get done before they arrived.

It was so wonderful to see them, a trip they had been planning for the last two years. We enjoyed a delightful light lunch together, pâté, fresh baguette, salad and a poulet ballottine, all washed down with a bottle of rosé de saignée by Jérôme Cothias.

Despite the weather, we decided to take a little walk through the forest and up to the point de vue, before a cup of vin chaud in front of the fire with some homemade biscuits.
