Welcome to all of you out there who might be interested to know about life chez nous. Hopefully, some of you will have happy memories of the house and the village and for those of our friends who have not yet made it over here, perhaps this blog will show them what they are missing!

Time Out
The weather so far this week has been lovely and warm and today is no exception with temperatures reaching 26° Took ourselves off to Empuries, where the Greek and roman ruins are, to buy plants at the nursery that Rowena swears by and to have lunch over looking the sea. It was just idyllic and the perfect way to celebrate my seven years free of cancer. Blue skies, clear sea and a great restaurant. It was the first time that we've eaten there but it certainly won't be the last. Creative food served with style. The menu was presented as including 3 courses and you were able to choose how much you paid (15€, 20€, 25€) depending on your level of satisfaction. Well when it came it was a complete meal: glass of cava and canapés of olives and a citrus soup with a scallop, then the three advertised courses with wine, coffee, petit fours, water and freshly baked speciality breads. They were also running a scheme where by they would match 1:1 any donation that you'd like to make to a school they're involved in building in Bourkino Fasso. Called in at Juste and Joséphine's on the way home and while Christian was at his meeting at the Mairie, I took a trip down to the garden where Michelle and Yanette were at work. all in all a pretty good day.
