eatlivetravelwrite: Brushing up on my wine vocabulary at #YUL en route to #CDG. Thinking of you @catmabee !
eatlivetravelwrite: You know you're in #France when the plat du jour on the #TGV is wild boar parmentier with a chestnut/ celeriac purée ;0
eatlivetravelwrite: Countryside whizzing by on the TGV, #Paris to #Bordeaux. May the travel gods continue to smile on us (we made our train connection in Paris despite a one-hour delay with the flight and the baggage taking nearly an hour to appear!) and make the rental car
eatlivetravelwrite: Hello Lot-et-Garonne! #France
eatlivetravelwrite: Thoughtful welcome gifts from our gîte hosts: fresh baguette, wine, rillettes, jam and cassoulet. #AllYouNeed !
eatlivetravelwrite: Pizza Hut, French-style. Had to check this out for @catmabee ! (It's pretty good!!) a great Sunday night (been travelling for 24 hours) option!
eatlivetravelwrite: Planning our day over coffee at the Taverne d'Henri #Nérac. A day of measuring and furniture browsing awaits!
eatlivetravelwrite: Misty morning driving through #Gascony #France
eatlivetravelwrite: I have now, in fact, seen it all. Butter with chocolat chips ("Perfect for your tartines"). #France
eatlivetravelwrite: Scary drive back from Toulouse today (furniture buying!) in the dark and fog. No visibility! This was entering #Nérac around 20.30... The fog is pretty to look at, less fun to drive in (with a carful of furniture!)
eatlivetravelwrite: Sunnier skies in #Gascony today!
eatlivetravelwrite: Continuing my exploration of the DOP shower gel "douceurs d'enfance" line with a honey scented one ! (And yes, we stocked up on the Madeleine scent too!)
eatlivetravelwrite: A little obsessed with the mist right now in #Gascony. In the absence of sunflowers it's pretty gorgeous (though no fun to drive in when the sun goes down!)
eatlivetravelwrite: Mr Neil got to feed the #CamontChristmas cake with a little Armagnac (thanks @monicashaw for bringing this over from @cookeryschool!)
eatlivetravelwrite: Based on the #CamontChristmas menu, Mr Neil and I are having a tricky time picking wines!
eatlivetravelwrite: Six plates, four coffee cups, two glasses and a fruit platter: 3€ from Emmaüs. Love!
eatlivetravelwrite: A little DIY action at the new house today. But first, unpacking coffee machine and testing it out. #priorities
eatlivetravelwrite: Today's #dailyfog photo from #Gascony #France
eatlivetravelwrite: #Christmas shopping. #France #champagne
eatlivetravelwrite: What's affectionately known as a "Nana pour" in our house! Merry Christmas Eve!
eatlivetravelwrite: You can take me away from my kitchen but apparently you can't take the baker out of me. #CamontChristmas (look away @monicashaw @katedecamont #secretdessert )
eatlivetravelwrite: Merry Christmas! I'm baking (of course), drinking coffee and browsing furniture online... #Christmas in France.....
eatlivetravelwrite: Breakfast + presents (Bananagrams + @cookerystore mugs for the house! )
eatlivetravelwrite: In the absence of #Christmas sprinkles in #France, I improvised. Shortbread au chocolat blanc et pralines roses. Merry Christmas!
eatlivetravelwrite: Merry Merry from #Camont. Thank you @katedecamont for your hospitality today xo
eatlivetravelwrite: This is the way we do #Christmas at #Camont right @monicashaw ? @katedecamont #CamontChristmas #wine
eatlivetravelwrite: Relish tray par excellence by @monicashaw chez @katedecamont #CamontChristmas
