A day in Utopia and La Forge 11th Sept.

Bonjour à tous. Well its Sunday morning and we have been up early to take the dogs on the usual walk. Just the usual walk this morning. We gathered some walnuts from the road, I will have them tomorrow morning with my muesli. This morning after are breakfast we are going up to Rayssa, my daughters house, to check things out and collect any mail. I still feel Sunday is a special day, although I don't go to church it still feels like a religious day and so we always have a different breakfast on a Sunday. This Sunday we have boiled egg and toast. It is a beautiful morning again, the sun is shining and the temperature is to be about 29 degs.

Chateau
So off we went to La Forge, Rayssac on the way we passed this beautiful Chateau, it really is lovely countryside. It takes about 25 - 30 mins to drive to La Forge but it is so magical on a morning like today. When we arrived at La Forge we go around and check everything. OMG there is so much fruit on the trees.

La Forge valley
These are some photos we took today, I'm sure you'll agree the scenery is beautiful.
This is the village church in Rayssac.


Here is  the back of La Forge and the side view, notice the new windows aren't they beautiful.

This is an apple tree on the left and  another one on the right.

 Here is the walnut tree, I will be walnuts in my muesli tomorrow morning

Below you can see the basket of fruit and nuts we gathered to bring home.

So when we came home we had our dinner al fresco of course, I really fancied a roast dinner today. So we had Duck with roast potatoes, mash potatoes, and mixed veg, I made my special sauce for the duck  Cherry, citrus and mint yum yum. After that I made some tomato soup, to freeze, and a big batch of sausage rolls. We will have our apple pie and ice cream later. Needless to say I had my nap in the lounger by the pool for an hour or so.

So all-in-all I have had a good day, I will report back tomorrow to let you know what's happening in my little world of Utopia.
