Bonjour,
I hope you and yours are properly.
Right here within the north of France the place I’m, we’ve had some pretty sunny climate after a number of rain – every thing is inexperienced and plush and flowers are blooming nearly in every single place, and the air is scented with blossom. Final week I used to be in Le Var, Provence and wow – what an unbelievable a part of France it’s, not as well-known because the Provence of the Luberon and Vaucluse however totally stunning (I left just a little of my coronary heart in Bormes-les-Mimosas) – I’ll be sharing what I found with you in a future subject of The Good Life France journal!
This week I’m within the Loire Valley (that’s Chinon within the picture above) – researching the native delicacies, assembly artisans and producers and discovering why Excursions is an official ‘cité de la gastronomie,’ a community of cities devoted to gastronomy – and naturally I’m obliged to check as a lot as attainable in order that I can report again to you! You may include me through Instagram, via regrettably I’m unable to share what I eat with you, although I’d if I may!
Again residence, Tony Blackbird, the newborn blackbird who took a very long time to discover ways to fly, is doing properly, and has been joined by his siblings and cousins as it appears that evidently our backyard has develop into a little bit of a blackbird den. They hop about within the grass from daybreak to nightfall, and have eaten all of the cherries – not one left for me! Nevertheless it’s okay – all of us must reside as greatest as we will I reckon, and so I’ll plant two extra cherry timber later this yr and I’ll hold them small and one in all them netted up – one for me and one for the birds! Fortunately my lazy cats have misplaced curiosity in working about within the warmth, and the canine bark in the event that they see a cat within the backyard which warns the birds.
In the meantime Kim Kardachicken (previously often called Kardashian) and her most important rival, Mariah Cluck Cluck Carey have been squaring up to one another for prime canine, or fairly prime hen, within the pen. It’s fascinating to look at them. One strategy to show their ‘power’ appears to be by selecting on others weaker than them (not not like some people). We haven’t had a cockerel for some time, not since Roger Moore and Brad Pitt reached a cheerful outdated age and handed on some time again, however I’m pondering of getting a cockerel for them to see if it makes all of them a bit happier, the cockerel is all the time hen pecked however large enough to take it (!) – and likewise as a result of Joan Collins and Meryl Streep are each having phantom pregnancies and I’ve to wrestle them off the eggs each morning!.
By no means a boring second right here!
Bisous from a chicken-mad author in France,
