One year on

The August bank holiday weekend is when we first came and saw the farm. We put in an offer for it after spending a couple of days looking round the area. Rash perhaps but we love it even more now than we did then. Perhaps we are aware of more issues as well now but that is to be expected (we kind of ignored the issues with the barn I suppose)
We celebrated with a curry and some 'Vin Sauvage' aka champagne not from the champagne region.
The French aren't in to curry and we have really been missing it, as there aren't restaurants and you can't buy the ingredients in the supermarket. Ruth, Huw and Christopher kindly brought us a number of jars of Madras curry paste, we cooked up the first one making egg, chicken and beef (not to eat all together but to last a few days). Variety being the spice of life. They also brought some mango chutney. We made naan to go with it all and had some of our home brew... yummy!
