Mike and Pippa have been our hosts and tour guides. We got tea in bed from Pip this morning. After an al fresco breakfast of coffee and pastries the drove us past house for sale - very tempting, to visit their Dutch friends who are doing an immaculate renovating an old house. Onto the road for coffee in Laparade that was gearing up for a night market. Having to leave the pretty hilltop village we swung by CastleMoron for bakery delights and supermarket bargains.
Lunch of fish soup with Pippa’s croutons was delightful in the shade of their house. Back on the road with Pippa she got garlic and white beans from the local farm shop. We were shown the process of plum to prune. I love a bit of machinery.
Back at La Maison Rose for a swim followed by tea and fruit tarts.
We had aperitifs with Pippa’s two sisters before heading back to Fongrave a lovely dinner. We ate outside as the sun set. So beautifully warm.
Now time for bed. Goodnight everyone.
