Called to see my old folks and wish them well. at 11.30 they were just sitting down to early lunch. Invited me in and pulled up chair and shared their repas. Soup, trout en paupiette, salad cheese nuts and paste sweetened fruit.. told when to go as they always have a sleep. Home for a lazy afternoon and sort papers and photos of family Started family tree with photos....will post up.
Invited for coffee at 4pm this is how the Aznars are...precise and makes me feel comfortable as I don't want to out stay the welcome. Although French spoken a little spanish creeps in...I am trying... and getting by.
Sat and chatted and then formal invite to lunch for tomorrow the Easter meal. WOW I feel so honoured they want me to share. My 2nd family adoption.
Take some bubbles..made melon balls and cakes. Amuse bouche little biscuits and nuts with the bubbles...glad I took the bottle. Lunch on the big table in the salle a manger....all laid up ..how kind how lovely. Quiche Lorraine for starter in the most perfect puff pastry...Marie is 86 amazing lady! The pair of them such hospitality. Followed by pasta maison...ribbons with meat and tomato sauce. Chicken followed with beetroot and artichoke hearts. Cheese local and bread and then fruit from the summer we picked peaches and pears. Marie had bottled. Wonderful 3 full hours gone by just eating and chatting and laughing...all in French. Another invite for tomorrow. Dominos and coffee at 4pm.
