Had a fab night out with the family yesterday. Our village hold a bonfire picnic every year. You basically take some food to share, cremant (the local champagne) and wine. We took mozeralla and cherry tomatos on sticks, chilli pesto pasta, chicken wings and pate. There was lots of choice. A lot of people were already there when we arrived. it took us 10 minutes to kiss everyone (4 per person) before we finally sat down to eat.
I was sat next to a french lady of 80 years young. She didnt look a day over 70. Had fantastic skin. Had a really nice chat with her. She used to live in paris when she was young.
What Ive become to realise is that we dont spend enough time with the french people. I can actually speak more french than i realise and understand alot too.. It was great putting it into practice and not feel judged.
Yesterday my husband and friend worked on our sun terrace. Its really starting to take shape.
Sadly my he had a bad back today and isnt able to undertake his hobby. Always a price to pay.
Im off to spend the afternoon with an English friend who lives near by. No doubt will drink too many cremants. Lifes too short thats my new motto!!!!!
