Lovely warm sunshine and a trip to the market was on the cards. Rolled up my sleeves in the afternoon to make a carrot cake for this evenings neighbourhood street party. As well as the usual apéritifs, there were several soups to sample, roast chestnuts, cakes and plenty to drink. Mum made friends with Jacques who at the nod of her head filled up her glass with muscat. Out in the warm air until late at night, it's difficult to believe that we're heading towards the end of October.
25th October:
Early in the morning while Mum and Jill were at mass, we were out to see runners coming 
through the village on the second stage of a marathon. Here, those who weren't out to beat the clock, took a welcome refreshment. After that we decamped to the Foyer to see classic cars take a pit stop and had to seek shade as the sun was so hot. As we'd changed the clocks last night we were well and truly hungry by the time we went home so it was a quick root around in the fridge for what ever didn't need cooking. We've never been Sunday roast kind of people though Mum would at this time have beeen tucking into one with Barbara. Ah well, you can't have it all!
