Welcome

There are always a few last minute preparations for our guests. I like to make cheese gougeres as a canapés to accompany a welcoming glass of champagne. I have perfected my recipe for these, and they always go down well.

I also like to put fresh flowers from the garden in the rooms. I personally love to see them when I visit somewhere, so I like to pass that on. We have a couple of small vines in the garden, so I included some of the vine leaves, very apt for Champagne.

Brian recently bought a new hammock, and was keen to put it up whilst cleaning the pool today. When I’d finished doing my bits I went up to see if he was ready for coffee!
