And a few more photos from our weekend, this was of course the last weekend before the kids headed back to school, but unfortunately the weather did not permit too much beach time.

Well what do you do when you cannot go to the beach? You have soup……

We were invited to have a peak at the bottling at Trois Angles, a wine producer in Cazouls les Beziers, next door on Saturday. Vincent showed us around and we got a few glasses of wine as well, including a dry muscat, very interesting!

And Sunday, after the usual market at St Chinian, we visited our first ever “Vidi Grenier”, literally translated attic sale.

And what would I have bought out of the numerous items on display? A proper, rusted Paella pan! Watch this space!

And as it was Mother’s Day, the two mothers of the house were spoilt with lunch, here they are having their starter of watermelon, sliced mushroom, tomato and mozzarella cheese!

Happy Mother's Day!
