When it's raining and cold is the time for scribbling on envelopes and
hatching ideas for the garden in 2006, so I'm wondering what you're
plotting. In our household, it goes like this:

John; finish building the stone sitting place he started in autumn
.This is what inspired him:

New garden? You're not moving from your rooftop paradise are you?

Not yet...........haggling has begun though :~)
Been down there all last week to make sure we like it just as much in winter -
we did. It's a lot milder there and one hardly needed a coat. A thick fleece was
enough !

COoooo ... good luck.

When we go at Easter, my family's horrified to see my kids (when they
were little) wearing no coat! They don't realise how mild it really is
and I am kinda hardy now.

Going to Ynyslas at Easter - in Wales and look around properties.
Rented this lovely cottage on the estuary. Makes a change to the
Dordogne but as usual we'll pop over to the SW and hope we can go to
Les Eyzies in August, and show you how to make a proper clafouti ;o)

Ummmm - I hate clafouti - It reminds me of cold Yorkshire pudding with fruit in
;~(
But then maybe I've never had a real one :~))

Clafoutis _is_ Yorkshire pudding with fruit in it! I asked for it once
in a restaurant, and the manager said he was sorry, "but for that you
need a grandmother". I told him it was the same with us for one's
mother's apple pie. (But I've broken the matrilineal thread for our
family: my kids want Dad's.)

You must have. Cold clafouti is awful ;o)

Ha! That famous apple pie. It is a very English family affair isn't it.
But then you haven't tasted mine. Though I wouldn't call clafouti
Yorkshire pudding Mike! More like a flan perhaps. Because do you put
caster sugar in your Yorkshire pudding? And cinnamon, and 4 to 6 eggs
for 75gr of flour?! Vanilla?! And I don't put beef dripping at the
bottom of my dish ;o)
