Last night we went to Le Scorlion at St Jean d’Angelys (the spelling there may be a little wonky), and had a lovely meal.

Here is my starter of langue de boeuf (ox tongue):

And this is Avril’s salmon

For main course I had steak:

And pineapple cut incredibly thinly with a red fruit sorbet for pudding

I did discover that my camera has a food setting! But the pictures I took on that all seem very dark so I’m not sure I will bother with that again!

This morning we were knitting. Sandra finished her beret

Ruth has finished a lovely phone cover using strips knitted together, and a button bought during our trip to La Rochelle.

Joanne has also finished her beret, in a yummy shade of purple.

This afternoon we went to the Roman town of Saintes.

We visited a nice little knitting shop in the town centre.

And another one on the outskirts.

On the way home we stopped at the hypermarket and I have stocked up on chocolate (though I have eaten some already 🙂 ). We are now sitting outside (in my case in the shade) doing a little bit of knitting and admiring our purchases before dinner. This is the life 🙂 I shall also definitely miss being chauffeured around in an air-conditioned Jaguar when we go home!
