Summertime and the river

Cultural activities and catching up with friends are among the great pleasures of summer in France.

Yesterday afternoon we participated in a cruise along the Lot river with others from the Temple-sur-Lot French/English language group.

Last night our Castelmoron-sur-Lot French language group held a "best plate" night at the home of Alistair and Kate Forbes, who own a beautiful property right on the river, about five kilometres from the village.

My brother John and his wife Karen are visiting from Australia and they have been getting a taste of our dolce vita in the Lot et Garonne.

Here are some photos from last night ...

Alistair entertaining the guests

It was a gourmet night and Alistair, as usual, provided the music. He included in his repertoire "Les feuilles mortes" and "Champs Elysees" for our French friends.
