Ooh, exciting news here....some customers arrived today for the first time, having read about us in a "glossy" magazine, apparently a French film star from our village was interviewed, he has a new film coming out soon, and was asked about his favourite places, he said CdeG was his favourite tea time treat. 🤩 Then the local radio DJ arrived to interview me😱😆😅 I didn't even know the film star had been in our little Tearoom.

Can't whack a celebrity endorsement for boosting the business. Don't forget us lowly forum folk when you're swanning around with the rich and famous @D0rdogne_Damsel
Good news! The buyers have signed the Compromis! No need now to cancel my meeting at the Notaire's to sign the Compromis for the house I want to buy. Such a relief.
Well done, @D0rdogne_Damsel, that is a very well known magazine. I see "Le Moulin de la Gorce" is in it too, that's where first OH took me for my 40th birthday. It was a real treat.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
That's great news for you too @Busy-Lizzie. Give yourself a break now... until the next bit I'm off to do chores then watch Bake Off. Virtual cake is better for my waistline. Such as that is
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Quiet day here. Took Possum shopping for fabric and socks this morning and then a wee snoozle this pms for me (cramps and knee in the night) and then we loaded up teh dogs and took them to La Belle Henriette for walkies. It's a long, curving sandy beach approached by a wooden walkway which carries people and dogs across a nature reserve which is full of channels and inlets and islets of wild plants providing a haven for all sorts of critters from mud life to big birds. Views across to the Ile de Ré.
@Biglad you'll have better weather indoors with your paintbrush!
Forgot to mention that when we got back I went off to water the remaining toms and my chillies and lemon grass in the polytunnel and found a hen outside their pen! Assuming it is she who will be called Mother Clucker and be chief hen. They liked the grapes I put out for them this morning (don't tell OH) but not so keen on the cabbage. Can't think why.

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

So much more efficient than my GP's. 15 minute slots every day from 0730.

Sounds like a mother hen Obelixx, leading the way.
