Albane's watercolour of our farm
and time to make our lives extra ordinary … our wonderful french interns Elodie and Albane left today after two months of being here with us like an extended family and we feel sad and bereft of their youth , enthusiasm and exuberance for life… I secretly bottled some it so I can take a few swigs when there are a milion things to do (as always) and no one here to do them all … cloning myself would be a plan but Paul couldn’t stand the tenfold Shouty McShouts that would inevitably follow.. and I would drive my own self mad too !
Forgot to give them the box of french fancies bought especially to show them what real “french” patisserie could be like .. oh dear ! well the whole size zero idea for summer was never going to happen was it !! having opened the box (to look at them and assess the packaging ) the colours are still surprisingly and refreshingly “70’s”.. and are oozing with delcious E numbers… whoa there horsey … I will not be tempted by their siren call tonight …
Otherwise have FINALLY put up the Billy the purple steel Buffalo at the roadside (its ok now keith ! neither Rome , nor Sussex Prairies for that matter, was built in a day !)
