DINING OUT AND GUESTS

Kaz and her Mum Joan have been out for a week.

Meals out and general late summer chilling in

what is still decent weather.

As with all visitors, there is always a visit 

to the village restaurant, where of course

the food is as excellent as ever.

A DAY IN DINAN

Had old navy mate Barry over for a week.

Seemed a good idea to go to the big market

in Dinan for the morning.

The smells from all the cooking stalls

was quite amazing.

You can get all sorts here. 

Then a bit of a wonder through the streets...

...and of course a bit of wine before

heading home.

A BUMPER VEG YEAR.

Plenty of stuff still growing in the garden.

Red onions galore, and still about 8 huge

pumpkins to come.

Tomatoes have been huge, so winter soups

have already been frozen down.

BACK IN THE KITCHEN!

The request was from La Passerelle

restaurant in Plancoet, would  go down 

and show them how to make a decent

batter, so they could put fish and chips

on their menu.

So I duly showed the resident chef my secret recipe.

Boom! 150 portions they did in the first week.

Glad to be of service.

MOULES FRITTES

 The biggest night of the village year.

Over 500 turned up for the moules frittes.

Plenty of wine and beer, and a really

excellent outdoor disco to dance the night

away till 3am.

As usual, the music was a bit cheesy, 

but nobody seems to mind.

SUMMER BBQ

,

30 attended our annual bash.

A good mixture of French and English.

We did the ever popular Pulled Pork, 

along with loads of salads.

Then far too many desserts were made.

for all to scoff. 

SCORCHING SUMMER

It's been such a long hot summer, we just had to

get this put up.

Had 6 weeks of temperatures in the 80's now.

Of course, 2 days after putting it up, the heavens opened and

it cooled down.
