What a lovely lunch. I must admit that I wasn't really in the mood but we'd promised Liz (who had volunteered to prepare food) that we'd go, so off we went.
I'm glad we did. The purpose of the event was to raise money for St Michael's church in nearby Boissett. The venue was Domaind du Grand Chemin and Liz was the chef.
What a good do. Naturally Grand Chemin provided the wine, and as their Gris is one of our regular summer quaffers then I was bound to be a happy bunny.
Now, given that I'm a bit of an atheist (how can you be a bit of an aetheist? - Ed), I wasn't too sure what I was doing there. I felt a bit hypocritical but there were some lovely people so the time passed pleasantly.
The food was excellent because Liz surpassed herself. The following menu and all the wine that you could drink for 15 Euros a head. Amazing.
Lemongrass and Coriander Vichyssoise.

About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.
