Its all go here at the moment, we had a full week with friends Donal and Petra here- Languedoc laid on the wettest week we have had since we came here in their honour.
However we did manage a trip to Avignon between showers, and rain did not curtail our appetites in any way so the dinner became the highlight of the day.
(And there is no harm in that )

They departed on Tuesday morning only just missing Clive Nunn who arrived from the ferry in his van on Tuesday afternoon bearing various pieces of furniture which he had made especially for the house and a staggering 18 large cardboard boxes with last of the the Dwyer Library.
He has been busy since hammering and sawing and I will show you the results as soon as they are done.
In the meantime I took it on myself to host a party in honour of St Patrick tomorrow night so I have been busy all day preparing French interpretations of national dishes to feed about 14 people of assorted nationalities tomorrow.
My shopping in Super U today included a bottle of Paddy and a fair amount of the black stuff, Clive came from Kilkenny bearing Marmalade Oranges, boiling bacon and shamrock so I will tell you shortly how I put all these together.

In the meantime don’t expect to hear from me until the day after the feast.
