Wonder why they didn't call it the Lisbon or the Venice or even the Moscow !<br />Will look out for the smoked chicken next visit. <br />As for the furniture, it came from here in Derbyshire. Sad but true. We tried to find stuff we could afford in France but.....it's a long story and there's a whole blog post about it to come.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-87605403450897191652010-01-15T23:20:53.658+00:002010-01-15T23:20:53.658+00:00Jean, the Brico by the LeClerc in Perrusson has a ...Jean, the Brico by the LeClerc in Perrusson has a wonderful barbecue in their display outside... The Harrogate! I am sure that the fine peepils of Harrogate would look askance at the fine lump of reconstituted cement. I would love to know who named it. Go and take a look next time you visit Lidl. You do visit Lidl don't you? The smoked chickens are wonderful... salad for two twice, chicken and mushroom omlette and a soup from the carcass - all for three euros. Costco do one in the UK but it isn't as succulent and the flesh is a lot tougher... and it is £8 for a smaller bird.We are just off over for a three week stay and one of our first purchases will be 'the chicken'... we arrive after the market closes! But we might go to the Descartes Sunday market for veg and fruit.<br />I love the sideboard under the window - very practical [all the important things catered for... 20 bottles and three wine coolers... but you need a visit to Vouvray next time...] we recommend E.A.R.L. Bongars; he does a superb pettilant, touraine rosé and a still white. I count ten gaps. Where did you find such a great piece of furniture?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-51828821070620353792010-01-15T11:28:05.244+00:002010-01-15T11:28:05.244+00:00Walt - clean is the word.

I would never have dreamed of seeking permission to reinstate a blocked-up window...so I didn't! Up to now now one has said anything.<br /><br />The blog looks good but the window looks fabulous. Well done! I'm going back to the photo of what is under the window...looks interesting.Ken Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-87582106711325102752010-01-15T07:18:00.204+00:002010-01-15T07:18:00.204+00:00The cleaned out space looks great.
