dimanche matin....

{old prune trays hanging outside our friend's barn}

Yesterday was a beautiful day here in SW France, not too hot and clear blue sky or as the French say le ciel bleu.

We managed to squeeze in a quick visit to our friends house and whilst we were there I snapped some shots.

Our friends are local farmers who farm plums and chickens and it is a fabulous place to visit as there is always something new to see.

I will even let you into a wee secret, a famous English chef spent some time at the property and as a result photos of our friend's property appeared in one of his french cook books.

We saw these fabulous creatures as we drove up the drive.....

Once we arrived at the top of the drive we saw racks and racks of plums everywhere. The Prune season is underway in SW France and I love the smell of them drying in the big ovens.

Love how everything here is done the old fashioned way - all by hand and naturally.

The farm is such a restful place with row upon row of beautiful trees........

A shot of our friends with Mr FF who is very camera shy at the best of times....

And one avec moi..love the flowers that appear to have sprung from Mr. A's tete..

A truly fabulous time, just wish that we could have stayed longer..

A la prochaine,
