It would appear that the neighbours have won the race (not that they even knew there was one) - and not only won but gone around and done a second lap!
The photo above is of their lovely “haricots verts” - found in a bag hanging on our gate after breakfast. We were both touched and so promptly went round to say our thank you’s and swap kisses (we’re still undecided as to whether or not there’s a different number for hello and goodbye - we’ve confirmed it’s 4 at the goodbye and we tend to only do 2 at the hello but I must check to ensure we’re not shorting them a couple of kisses!)
Madame was pleased that we got them and commented that she hadn’t wanted to catch me in my pyjamas again hence leaving them on the gate!
So tonight, we shall be dining on duck breast with the very last of the red wine and cherry sauce, potatoes sauteed in duck fat and green beans with toasted almonds - although we thought we might try and stay off the wine during the week and today is the first day of the week, we may have to put that off for another week and enjoy one of the lovely bottles that Mark & Oona kindly bought us the day before they left!
Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow (we’ll get back off the wine..)!
