This weather is just perfect at the moment. Had a brilliant early morning ride through the chestnut woods and along the newly re-surfaced chemin. Less pot holes than the A-roads in the UK!
Have trust cooked up my tomatoes using your recipe. The simplicity appealed as am not a chef. It is the nicest taste I have ever produced. Will freeze and save to use for soups. An absolutely beautiful taste. Thank you
Don't apologist Cro - in spite of what Tom had to say when he boasted about being the first to quote from the poem this Autumn - I love the whole poem and would feel bereft if I didn't hear it at least half a dozen times each year.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Those are figs? how lucky you are.And morning mist is wanderfull.
ReplyDeleteI have about 7 large Fig trees, all of which are now covered in ripe fruits.
DeleteLove the morning mist!
ReplyDeleteA wee bit nippy, but it soon changed.

ReplyDeleteWe could do with our petit chemin being re-surfaced.... I shall have a word with the Mayor.
DeleteOh no, what have you started....
ReplyDeleteIt was YOU that started it this year!
DeleteI thought I had stopped it.

ReplyDeleteI really like that upper picture !
ReplyDeleteI need a better camera.
DeleteA lovely time of the year. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and happy photos, Cro. I spent half my childhood in a fig tree.
ReplyDeleteAt this time of year, I just grab a few as I pass by.
