Katharine: A magical summer's day in Sete



Photo credits:  Katharine

Viv and Alain invited us to celebrate Cook&Eat at their home on a hill in Sete, overlooked by a  blue sky with a few puffy white clouds  and overlooking the sea - a perfect summer's day.

The theme of the day was Moroccan food, and we feasted on everyone's contributions of Moroccan salads, tagines, and the dishes included a chicken dish (from Elisabeth) that resembled pulled pork in its presentation and was absolutely delicious.

Françoise (Alain and Viv's daughter) is here for the summer months - it's always a pleasure to see her.  Here she is impersonating a classical statue.....

Desserts - summer fruits .......
Desserts included Moroccan pastries and luscious fruits of summer - melons, peaches, reine claudes (greengages).    (Does anyone remember the film The Greengage Summer?)
..... and Moroccan pastries

It's racetime for Michel and Colin.  Colin swam all afternoon!

No, he didn't push her in the pool (we may be invited again .........)

Jane and Viv (look at that sky.....)
Michel, Alain and Phil (talking with his hands)

Were they racing or were they trying to waterbomb the swimmers?  What do you think?

A moment of repose for Françoise............

uh-oh ........bomber alert!
