Before dinner

The evening temperatures are starting to drop now across central France, in fact we have some snow flurries forecast for later this week. It will be wonderful to have snow in December, let’s hope we get some, but not too much though.

We tend to light the fire in the salon, around 5.30pm, it warms the room up nicely before we sit down at the end of our day for a little pre dinner drink. Sometimes that may just be a cup of tea, but normally a g&t or Brian may have a beer, but of course a glass of Champagne when it feels right. We normally take some time, half an hour or so, to practice some French, or catch up on the days news, or I may look at my blog for the day. It’s nice just to sit quietly, warm up and reflect on the day, before we enjoy our dinner
