My sister Genevieve is going home tomorrow.
After an unlucky start to her holiday, which saw her hospitalised for two weeks, things settled and she extended her stay by two weeks.
Today we had a farewell lunch at a nearby restaurant, Le Temps de Vivre at Saint-Hilaire-de-Lusignan.
It was, as the French say, super bon.

Life has dealt Genevieve a few tough cards, but she's happy these days. She deserves it.
We didn't do a lot of galavanting around. There was a cruise on the Garonne, a visit to the castle at Duras and crepes in the bastide village of Clermont Dessous.
We had a day sight-seeing, lunching and shopping in Bordeaux.
Most of the time we spent at home, our new home, where she was content to potter in the garden or lie by the pool.
At night, we had fun playing scrabble or arrowords.
We've thoroughly enjoyed Genevieve's stay. Although it is a long and tiring trip from Tasmania, we're hoping she'll come again.
Tony, sorry for your sister spending two weeks in the hospital instead of near or in the pool. Hope she's completely recovered. I hope she makes it safe back to Tasmania. I'm sure she'll miss you and France.
ReplyDeleteThat farewell lunch at Le Temps de Vivre sounds and looks fabulous, especially the paella-style plat de résistance. The entrée and dessert don't look bad either.
Thank you for those kind words Charles Henry. The restaurant was outstanding, a fitting farewell lunch for Genevieve.
DeleteAu revoir Genevieve. Hope to see you here again.
ReplyDeleteIt was sad at the airport.
