Birthday girl

Apologies for my lack of blogs recently, we have been really quite busy with our guests, which has been positively wonderful.

First we had a group of six girls choose to celebrate one of their 40th birthdays with us. It was delightful having lots of excitement and chitter chatter in the house.

On the evening they arrived we welcomed them first with a glass of Jérôme Cothias and then served them a delicious platter of local cheeses and charcuterie, with some homemade pickle and fresh bread. It set them up well for the following day, which was filled with tastings.

In the evening they came down for apéro, for which Brian had prepared a bottle to be sabred.

It was a really clean break, and made for an exciting start to their evening.

We had prepared them a four course dinner, with the star of the show being a côte de boeuf. Brian seared it first then cooked it in the oven.

we served the beef medium pink, which seemed to suit everyone.

They had a fabulous few days with us, and said they would love to return one day. It was a very special few days for us also, we love to be able to help create memories for our guests.
