Saturday 28 April The
Loire
Quick weather update.
As the UK is getting record April rains so France is cold (ie coats all
the time) with occasional showers. The
umbrellas are getting used. Made on
early getaway for the Loire. Love those
tollways until you have to pay. I sat on
130 whilst they whizzed around me. We reached Blois in time to settle in to the
hotel and check out the old part of town.
Our book had mentioned a ‘quaint homely French place’ for dinner. As it
was Saturday night it was full but if we could be there by 7pm they could fit
us in for the early sitting. Well they
hadn’t heard of the Fishers who had the 3 course top menu, a little bit of wine
and yours truely was convinced that a prune based digestive would be a good end
to a great night at about 10.30pm. We had snails and pork salad, beef and veal
cassolet, a ‘taste of 5 goats cheeses’ of various ages, hardness and mold, and
Robyn had a chocolate tart.
PS If this blog is getting too foody for you then bad
luck-you may be just a bit jealous?
