Last Friday, Evelyn and I headed out on a road trip to Degagnac and a visit with Clare Honan. Clare had been over to see me the previous Friday. We'd lunched at the President, made a brief spin through Figeac, and enjoyed catching up about our experiences. Clare has been reading my blog for a while and contacted me when she decided to buy a barn to renovate and restore in Degagnac. We've been emailing on and off for the last year, so to finally meet face-to-face was a lot of fun.
Evelyn drove, we brought the wine and the dessert, and Clare made a wonderful salad with soft goat cheese, and then chicken and vegetables. The sunshine danced in the yard, on the table and all over us. Pretty soon, I was peeling off my layers! Here we were, three American women living in France, each with our own stories and experiences to share.
Clare has named her place "Beaucaillou" which means "beautiful pebble" in French. She'll be offering her beautiful pebble for rent this summer, so I'll be back another time with more information on that. But for now, I leave you with a few magic sunshine shots of our afternoon lunch!
