We had another week in La Ferte-Mace - where we walked in forests and drank gallons of red wine in a country where you can get a St Emilion Grand Cru claret for £5 a bottle! We ate like kings and tasted Calvados in a local farm made by a guy who has won the Concours de Paris so many times that he has a special award from Francois Mitterand. We got the usual problems due to the surfeit of goats cheese, shellfish and unpasteurised milk that we have a penchant for when in France. Ou est les toilettes??
We had Ian and Nadine with us (and their daughter Alice) and they helped us choose the themes and colours for the dining room - so that the doors have been sanded and painted a kind of turquoise blue and the walls will be drawing the blue and brown out of the marble fireplace.
