Well we are in and settled and have had our first meal of pizza with wine, followed by a game of table tennis. Gite lovely and Kiera kind of getting used to the wildlife, but she had an aqua peevy when she first met the cats. we have counted about 10 cockerels today, so I am expecting a dawn chorus like the finest Welsh male voice choir tomorrow. It is clear that the area is very fond of 'innards' with Foie Gras being the king of the culinary offerings. The main delicacies revolve around geese and gizzards which I believe is chopped goose inners is well recommended along with the goose neck stuffed with sausage. We expect to sample some delicacies at lunch tomorrow and those knowing my stomach will not be surprised if there is no update tomorrow.
Our hosts are both from California and certainly have a remarkable property. A magazine article on the property in an American publication states that Larry appears at the local chateau riding a big brown horse named Duke and wearing a vest, chaps and a cowboy hat.
Most frustrating issue at present is Karla's expert attempts at mastering the French language and she attempts to ask for everything in French. To my ears she is as expert as Madeline (Kiera's favourite Parisien schoolgirl) but to Karla's dismay they all respond in English clearly picking up she's not from these parts.
You may also have noted that there has been no update on the zoo visit yesterday, but despite no blackberry, no Greys Anatomy to watch and no work to worry about K has still not managed to provide an update. She is getting too used to this easy life!
