We are having our neighbours for lunch. So far they are 16 minutes late, but they are farmers.
Dip in the pool as well.

Might have a dip in the pool this afternoon…not exclusive to us unfortunately as it’s the Gironde Estuary. Only 20 minutes away though…

air conditioning in the shop and car, shutters closed at home but the 156km (5h45m) bike race on Sunday in 34°c was a bit warm!

Hi Barbara, I really don’t have a curry secret.
I used Mary Berry’s recipe for lamb dhansak because it is spicy but not hot and I didn’t want to put our French friends off curry.
Jim is not a curry fan, so I have to make mild to medium and add lime pickle if I fancy a bit more heat.
