Yesterday...

Yesterday afternoon we set off to collect our table for our new kitchen/dining area at Maison No. 20.

Spring finally arrived yesterday,so it was nice to finally wear some lighter clothes and I even treated my new french sole ballerines to an outing.

The table's current owners live in a beautiful part of France in a village called Beynac which is about an 1 hour and 1/2 drive from our village.

The area is reknown for its lovely golden coloured stone houses and it is though time has stood still.

So I thought that I would be a "tourist" and take some photos to share with you.......

This is the village of Beynac, with its wonderful church perched high on the hill...

The river is directly below the village, what a lovely spring day....

Of course, it would not be a day out without stopping for a coffee.....

And what is a French village without a fabulous hairdressers, most villages have at least two, three, four or even five.....

On the way back we passed La Roque Gageac, La Roque has a most dramatic setting, situated right beside the river, with many of its houses built directly into the face of the huge cliff that overhangs the village.

Mr FF spotted this in a village where we stopped to get a baguette on the way home. Note I say WE but I was looking at a homeware shop whilst he was getting our baguette to nibble on, on the way home.

A close up of the Saint, basking in the spring sunshine....


Here is a photo of the table, which I am planning on patining the bottom half.....

And last but by no means least, here is the last item that I picked up whilst out to buy a baguette last week, it is one half of two panels which look like false books, I adore it as I have a thing about false books at present! I have not decided where I am going to use it yet...

I am off to get a cup of coffee, as all this talk of travelling and buying things has worn me out....

J'espère que vous avez un jour fabuleux!
