Walnuts and fruit salad

After a long 9 hour drive from Paris we arrived at our friends Evelyn and Peter's who greeted us with a glass of wine and a lovely meal.

They were set on spoiling us from the start and, as Tracy had a cold and we were both a bit travel weary we really appreciated the care.

We had chance to catch up, as we had not seen each other for a year or more, and to see the progress that Evelyn and Peter have made on their property.

We had lovely weather for the few days we were there, and took advantage of the sunshine to peel some walnuts that were going to the mill to make walnut oil.

In return we were fed handsomely by Peter, and mothered by Evelyn, bringing us tea in bed every morning, and dosing up Tracy with her potion to cure colds.

We enjoyed the animals that are part of the Gorrill family.

We had lots of laughs and the stay was just what we needed, a real tonic. It put us back on track to move on to our house sit near Carcassonne.

Thanks guys, for everything. You're the best.
