Autumn fete

We headed over to the little village of Villemorien today, where they were hosting their autumn fete. However, it was beautifully warm, and more like a summers day.

We immediately found a stall selling apple fritters, which looked totally delicious with a little sugar sprinkled on the top. We sat and enjoyed a plateful each listening to the live band, what a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

I so love these events, they’re always a great opportunity to enjoy some local produce, and on that note, I couldn’t resist buying some flour from my friend Dominique from La Ferme des blés d’or. I love her ‘de petit epautre’, it makes great biscuits, as it is lower in glutens. We also made a donation for the freshly squeezed apple juice the village had produced to raise funds for the community, it will be delicious for breakfast this week. Just before we left the fete I bought some gourds for some decoration in the house, the lady selling them wanted to be certain I knew they were not for eating.
