Local Herbs

Strange how one day can bring so many highs and lows. Yesterday’s delights ranged from wine tasting at a beautiful vineyard to smashing a hole through the floor of the house. Adrian was not in the best of moods and a serious water leakage did nothing to lighten his mood. Today we put our dinner on at 8am and slow cooked it above the fire – beef, mushrooms, tomatoes, local herbs and fromage blanc. As I sat eating it on the common land outside the house I was overcome by a intense feeling of well being. Either life is good or Adrian isn’t telling me precisely what the ‘local herbs’ are. Either way I missed Laura and had to text her immediately.
