It is generally said by the English here that the French don't entertain in their homes. It seems to us that it must be a case of not what you know but who you know as we have several friends who we visit regularly for meals.
Today we had a lovely lunch at Patrick and Chantelle's house in Cadrieu near Cajarc. We met them four years ago in a restaurant, got chatting and have been exchanging "repas" ever since, sometimes we meet in a restaurant but more often at our house or theirs. They do not speak any English so we have to work hard at the conversation but we always have a good time as well as lovely food.
Followed by dancing at Caylus as always on a Tuesday evening we have had lots of language practice today - my brain hurts - but not as much as my b.....y knee. I've decided to ignore its complaints this week though as it did not respond to me trying to rest it at the weekend!
