Picnic up the mountain

Picked up mamman and papa [our neighbours, the Aznars] and went up the mountain to their land and house....can you imagine the snow in Wales and UK and here we are lighting a fire and having a picnic on their terroir!  Glorious views over Bedarieux valley and the haute Languedoc and surrounding mountains most of all glorious fresh air.  Just to laugh enjoy good food and company.  Met the neighbours, [plumber and wife] and catching up with life.  The first of many days to come as the spring arrives and turns to summer sunshine.  Went home with bouquet of spring flowers a little chilly as the after noon progresses but hey we are here and settling into the most amazing life ahead........... back home to escalope of turkey breaded topped with lemon juice served with rice a la maison adding chopped onion, courgette mushroom, fennel and leek garlic and fresh ginger.  Dessert baked bananas in rum and dates fresh orange juice, oranges are delicious at the moment ...marmalade season here ...
