A little more

Mum wanted a bit of something for her lunch so asked for a ham sandwich and a few chips- result below
Ann and mum have gone back to the UK now so leaves just Eric and I - we've spent a couple more days in Dixme just chilling before coming down to Bordeaux - have added a couple more photos of us just getting ready to go out for a meal in Quinge (a new restaurant a few kilometres north) - it's a very small village -, the restaurant opened on the 2nd May but we'll definitely be going again. We had a four course meal with a litre of wine and coffee at the end followed by a brandy on the house. It cost us 16 euros each (around £14 per person).




We're now just outside Bordeaux - in the middle of the vine country - lots of little country lanes- so we've borrowed a couple of bikes from the kids and have done a little bit of exploring.
As we've still got an abundance of cherries - I'm cooking clarfoutti tonight (it's a bit of a cheat though as it's a packet from the supermarket) - recipe as follows:
Place freshcherriesin a buttered dish, mix one of the sachets (there are 2 in a pack) with half a litre of cold milk and whisk, pour over cherries and bake in oven on no.7 for about 40 mins. If it works - I'm bringing some back - can take orders!

  1. Hi Marg & Eric. Looks like a lovely trip so far - I'm jealous. Like the photo's, hope your Mum likes chips! Never heard of the cherry thingy so googled it. Looks & sounds delicious. Sorry to be picky (sounding a bit like Rosie) it's spelled Clafouti and pronounced how you spelled. Just a little bit of info there Ha! Ha! Jill x
