Today is Ian's birthday. To celebrate he held a beef-a-thon barbecue in the little hillside community where he and Nina live, not far from St Girons. It was also a celebration of the fact they have just signed the 'compromis de vente' purchase agreement for a barn further up the hillside that they will gradually be transforming into their home over the coming months.
It was a lovely convivial afternoon in fine weather with a mixture of Ian and Nina's English friends and the French residents of the houses in the community all contributing (vast quantities of!) meat for the barbecue, various salads, some delicious desserts and of course the obligatory overdose of wine although Andy and I were not partaking of the poison as we are on our fitness training regime, more's the pity!
This evening the skies are heavy with thundery clouds and the sunny weather looks like it has left us for the foreseeable future.
