Raiders of the kitchen

I went to the local supper market this afternoon. It is one of those French chain ones and although new and small it never really has anything inspiring in it. While loosing the will to live a small pack of three toblerones caught my eye (I am rather partial to toblerone). In the trolley they jumped as Zumba classes resume tonight I thought I could just work a little harder.

Once home and cupboards replenished apart from the veg being left on the side (and chocolate bars) I went off to feed the animals. On returning to the house this is what I found.


Milo may be short and blind but obviously has no worries about his waist line. Not a chocolate bar in sight. Even worse Franklin had finished off the last slice of honey cake I had made from this months Delicious. mag. He had already stolen 1/4 of it while it was cooling on the rack the other day. This cake was part of a thank you to a neighbour. I managed to cut it in half (untouched end) and saved a tiny un slobbered slither, I wouldn't mind but he wouldn't of savoured it one gulp down his neck. Even worse he has an appointment with the diabetic clinic tomorrow. A day at the vets for him, I may make a cake and put it up very high.

Did they touch the carrots, leeks, cabbage or bananas no I guess dogs are just like humans avoiding the things that we know we should eat. Given a option I know what I would have.

    Oh dear, but at least they left you the healthy stuff! I guess Milo and Franklin are in the dog house!

2ENJ093 - FRANKLIN

Eight years ago today Franklin came into our family, a rescue dog from the SPA in Rodez we drove to see if they had a dog to re home. He had been there a month after being left tied to a bin in the town centre, chosen because he didn't bark, he came to us to say hello and was completely different from the dog we had lost days before Christmas. 120 Euros he cost, a young boy still a pup, very thin but with a look of take me home please. A collar put round his neck, forms completed, cheque handed over and a kiss from the manager and he was ours. Five minutes down the road in the car he threw up. Five minutes in the house and he had weed up the settee and collected an assortment of treasures including socks, toilet roll inner tubes, tissues and soft toys all placed in a pile under the table and garded. He ate at an amazing speed, fearing he would loose it to our other dogs. Then he started to bark, he has a fine bark on him. He barks for his tea, when a visitor arrives, the

Parisot lake

As it is a holiday today here in France (Bastille Day) we took the afternoon off an popped over to Parisot lake for a walk with Sorrel. It has all changed, since the lake was emptied and cleaned up this year you can now swim in it, as well as inflatable toys to play on, a life guard, bikes to hire, a new fenced in play area for small people and a total spruce up. But there is a price we were charged! 3 euros an adult, which I guess is OK if you are using the facilities but Sorrel didn't fancy a dip. The cafe is still open but that would of been too much for Sorrel to cope with being so close to people and music so we opted for a bench to sit on in the shade before walking around the lake. Sorrel opted for being Billy no mates and laying by herself, if be it for a short period of time before bikes and people went by. We are now waiting for the free firework celebrations over the chateau tonight - if we can stay up that late.😃

Lavender

One plant that does grow well around the gites and garden and that I don't seem to be able to kill is lavender. In the summer the bushes are swarming with bees, hummingbird moths, butterflies and other flying insects, lot of holiday photos have been taken by keen photographers, some setting up chairs and waiting for ages with big cameras and lenses waiting for the right moment and right insect to land. It does give a lovely show and smell as well, its picked and placed in vases in the gites by guests. Its very tactile and difficult to pass without a rub of a flower that's if you like the smell. I think its very much like marmite you either love it or hate it, a smell of memories of grans and old aunts who use to get given Yardley's old lavender smellies for presents. I like the smell but it can be quiet overpowering, especially when this year I have finally been able to save the dried flowers. Previous years other things have got in the way and its bee
