I just love this glimpse into your French life – buying ducks from your neighbor, your beautiful fireplace ablaze, and those delicious duck dishes your husband made! Quite impressive – the Arabian nights recipe sounds so good!

Hi Sara, I’m so glad you find it interesting. I’m a little afraid of being boring … Isn’t Arabian nights a lovely title?

So good to see all the sights of Blois Even better to hear that J+M is getting into the cooking role. I am looking forward to seeing you both in August – not long really
I have to agree with Sara. It is wonderful to be able to have these glimpses into your daily life, always beautifully photographed and your writing is never boring! Your blog allows me to experience and see so much of the French countryside and way of life. I love Australia but it lacks the history, architecture, way of life and seasons of France. Even if I were able to visit for a short time it would be as a ‘tourist’. Your blog makes one feel a part of it all.

Super. And he’s one of the few men I know who can be relied on to clean up after cooking.
Yes, it’s true. He always cleans up.
Lovely post, Rosemary.
Happiness is definitely when hubby makes dinner! 🙂
Cheers.
Thank you, Carolyn. I quite agree!
Beautiful views of both sides of the river.
A brocante would be the European equivalent to a flea market here.
I really do love my town! Yes, it would be a flea market.
