Walking in the Fields July 12

Bertrand & Beatrice


For breakfast this morning, I prepare my angel biscuits. Sometimes it's difficult to find ingredients for my recipes. Buttermilk is one of those ingredients. But I do know a few tricks and made it work. Everyone loved them. For breakfast we serve fresh bread, fresh butter, homemade jams and jellies and a local creamy honey. In addition to the french bread that is bought every morning, we also serve some kind of American breakfast item. So today we served the angle biscuits with the homemade jams. Veronique loved them. Guess my biscuits are going viral! Ha.

After breakfast we went on a 2 hour walk with the neighbors- Bernard, Beatrice, Jules & Anotin. They showed us all the back roads to walk on and use for running. It's hard to find roads that are wide enough for 2 cars passing each other and a runner. So we try to find roads that are less frequented. You won't find many runners around here so people are always curious about us.
There are wild fruits trees everywhere and people just stop on the road and pick. We found wild cherry trees on our walk and had a little snack. It was fun walking between the fields of wheat and sunflowers. Nice, nice people.
Bernard and Beatrice have a great garden and chickens too. Their rooster likes to get us up in the morning. Ugh. I was using a room that was way to close to him so Anne and I switched since she can't hear him! Good exchange. The neighbors gave us some wonderful carrots. Yum. In the garden here we picked currants and next week will be gooseberries.  The weather is coastal so you have to always layer. It can be cold and then the next minute hot. This can happen many different times during the day.  There is quite a bit of rain too.  Snails are prolific. Maybe that is why they decided to eat them!
