🎶A Magical Evening at Forge🎶
This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of attending a stunning concert in the charming village of Forge, just 20 minutes from Montmorillon. It was my first time at this beautiful venue, and I was blown away by the setting—a perfect spot for an enchanting soiree. The music, the atmosphere, everything was pure magic! ✨🎻
A dear friend of mine, Lucy, was the incredible violinist in a talented trio, accompanied by a guitarist and flutist. Together, they performed a series of classical pieces that were nothing short of breathtaking. From delicate strings to the gentle melody of the flute, the evening was a wonderful celebration of music. 🎶💫
It’s moments like these that make living in this region of France so special—discovering new places, supporting friends, and sharing in such amazing experiences. Have you been to a memorable concert recently? Let me know in the comments! 🎵🎸

🍰🌟 CELEBRATING GASTON LENÔTRE: A LEGENDARY PASTRY ICON 🌟🍰
Join us on the latest episode of “Fabulously Delicious, the French Food Podcast,” as we pay homage to Gaston Lenôtre, the visionary French pastry chef whose legacy continues to inspire culinary excellence! 🇫🇷✨ Born on May 28, 1920, in the picturesque region of Normandy, Lenôtre’s journey from humble beginnings to culinary stardom is as remarkable as his creations. 🎂
From mastering the art of millefeuilles and éclairs in his early apprenticeship to dazzling high society in Paris with his exquisite desserts, Gaston Lenôtre revolutionized the world of pastry with his innovative spirit and commitment to excellence. 🥮 His creations, like the iconic “Succès” and the elegant Opera cake, remain timeless symbols of French gastronomy. 🍮
But Lenôtre’s influence extended far beyond his delectable desserts; he was a pioneer in culinary education, founding a cooking school where future luminaries like Pierre Hermé and Alain Ducasse honed their craft. 📚✨ And his ventures globally, from Maison Lenôtre shops to co-founding Les Chefs de France at Walt Disney World, brought French haute cuisine to the world stage. 🌍
Join us as we delve into the extraordinary life and legacy of Gaston Lenôtre, whose passion for pastry continues to inspire chefs and food lovers worldwide! 🍰🎉

Well what a day it’s been. Thankfully the water only came about two and a half metres into our front yard. This was despite the pompiers telling us it would come up to our lounge room. We helped the neighbours move stock from their stores into our lounge room. Checked in our friends and townsfolk. Some of our friends weren’t as lucky and have had their homes inundated. Tomorrow we’ll go to help clean their homes up. But tonight it’s time for a rest and a glass of wine. Stay safe those by the river. À demain
