Out of Africa

Every year we head off to France in August, when it gets hot and school holidays are long, it is our annual holiday where we meet up with the rest of the family. It is such a contrast for us to be in the lovely green fresh garden although this summer, France have had more than their fair share of rain. My father's vegetable patch was such a joy with everything in great abundance. My daughter took great joy in collecting everything from the garden at meal time especially the baby new potatoes. The only problem was that we had one too many blackberry crumbles!



The refurbished bread oven, the same as is used daily in Marrakech medina for bread baking. The bread man knows every families bread tray. Each morning the family makes the bread and takes it to him to be baked. A wonderful smell.

Anyone interested in a holiday in the Charente should contact Lynn at Le Tacherie, she is a lovely lady and has wonderful cottages to rent, including Morgan cars to tour in.
