There's a bloody parisian who has managed to turn up in his holiday home in the hamlet round the corner. I don't approve on any level.
Maybe you can order some spices online if you don't have them @Nollie and make your own curry. The only takeaway round here is pizza in July and August for the holidaymakers so it's a good job I'm happy cooking Indian, Thai, Chinese and Moroccan and the rest.
As for lunch out? yes, I just hope when things relax that our favourite places will have survived the lockdown - jobs, economy and normal life for all concerned.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

No I don’t approve either, but on a human level, I sympathise with how they must be feeling, living in a tense, explosive, cooped-up situation in an overcrowded city. I live in a wonderful, remote country property with lots of space and land to keep me occupied, so don’t feel I can come across all self-righteous and report them.
Not the same, @Obelixx, even if I could match his cookery skills and could get fresh seafood (doubtful on both counts) the whole point is not having to cook!!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
They've been reporting increased domestic violence since week 1 @Hostafan1 and i'm not surprised by suicides in these circumstances.
@Nollie - I like cooking and OH likes the results. Good way to experiment and TBH, the French can't cook Indian or Thai or Chinese and the ones I've met here don't know Moroccan either. Their idea of spicy is a teeny pinch of espelette which is a very boring chili, usually dried powder too.
The Parisian's holiday home is grander than our house so I can't imagine his Parisian home is that pokey. The ones who escaped at the beginning of the lockdown have already brought all the initial cases of the virus to the Vendée, especially in Noirmoutier, Les Sables d'Olonne and all the top seaside resorts.

Don't start me on the increased rate of domestic abuse @Hostafan1. It's bad enough anyway, but all those ar**holes not getting to their precious pubs to get tanked up watching football.... The non supportive husband needs to get his priorities sorted @Lizzie27
Those iced doughnuts are an abomination @Dovefromabove. I bought some blueberry muffins . Needless to say - they've gone the same way as the KitKats....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Never heard of meadow song. I can remember the smell of aquamanda, cuticura soap , sickly Avon perfumes in little pots, kiku and Charlie
I remember walking past a night club in Gran Canaria and someone offered us "Charlie" Hubby turned to me and said: " Does he mean that nasty perfume from the 70s?" Bless'im

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I was more a Meadowsong by Goya girl
Sorry, can't think of anything that makes me feel curmudgeonly at the moment....
