La Grimolee is a beautiful restaurant on the banks of the Vienne near L'Isle Jourdain.Penny and George had held their wedding reception here in July and Ruth had missed it, so we took them (and son Gregory) there for lunch on Easter Sunday.
Simply exquisite! ... Pheasant terrine, quail, local cheese in filo, caramelised apple mille feuilles... , petits fours.. 25 euros a head ...Haut Medoc, pineau....
Most of the rest of the time with them was in their house, though! Weather again! We couldn't even walk down to the fishing lakes as we refused to pack wellies in the nomadic Yvette, and it was up-to-the-ankles conditions. Loads to catch up on.. and exciting plans for the future! Our first engagement with Wii - (Bowling & Golf!) and an intro to two great Francophile (or not) sites: http://frogsmoke.com/ and http://timescorrespondents.typepad.com/charles_bremner/
.. not to mention the curry!
On Tuesday morning we left them to wrestle with the artisans, and we headed South again, with no particular place to go!
