You may have noticed that we haven’t posted a new blog entry for some time. We have just returned from vacation and I thought you may be interested to see some of our experiences in France.
Our first stop was a wedding in France …. one of our cousins. I had the honour of singing Shubert’s Ave Maria for that occasion, with a pipe organ, in a very ancient stone church. I did not require a microphone …. the acoustics were amazing!
We spent four wonderful days with our French family and then we traveled to the south of France where we had rented a house with friends from Canada. Our time there was amazing …. the touring was superlative, and the food has spoiled me for life. I have never eaten so well!!
I hope you enjoy the visual tour to follow:
We attended a French Country Fair in this town square.

We also bought sausages from the French market. (The sign “Goutez Moi” translates to “Taste Me” in English.
