The Murray semi final at Wimbledon is on the telly, O'Reilly is glued to the set, a beer is by my elbow and the sun is shining. But all this is happening in Nantilly. We are here for our final weekend before our summer holiday.
Flying in you can see how beige the landscape looks and at ground level you see the cereal fields are ripening and the harvest has begun. Far less than last year, there are fields of sunflowers that should be heavy with seed when we are back at the end of July.
The backyard is almost over run with the two lavendar bushes that have gone huge - harvesting them last year must have driven extra growth and we will have to figure out what to do with them.
On arrival we threw all the windows open to let the spledid evening sun and gentle breeze air the house and once O'Reilly realised that the tennis would go on for a bit, we popped up to Esnandes for supplies. Tonight will be home cooked Pave de Julienne (fish of some sort) with bechamel sauce, leeks and some other vegetable.
Tomorrow we have a mid day tee time and a reservation at Viviers for moules et frites in the evening.
It is a fourth set tie break and O'Rielly is giving me a running commentary - well by the time you read this you will know the outcome.
