They ordered us a baguette for today - the baker called by at around 7 am. A little later the ubiquitous yellow French postal van arrived providing door to door service too!
We made good use of google translator with the following:
Interesting to checkout the vegetable garden with the elderly owner - neither of us understood anything the other was saying but we communicated quite well. He had beautiful half grown tomatoes - and he pinches out the laterals, too - with new lettuce and beetroot seedlings just planted out, he was not worried by the hot day ahead. The rest of his garden looked very typical of an Australian summer vegetable garden.
We spent some of the day planning where we might head over the next few weeks whilst in the Southwest France - never can be sure as to where we might end up! Perhaps another vineyard or two - with shade.
This weather is absolutely suitable for cooking outside - the inside alternative is not an option.
That sove looks just like ours. ;)) We have found all the kit we took over from you fantastic, a real advantage buying from someone who travels regularly.
