Our next stop was at Alec's friend Hank's. He and his wife and daughter are restoring a French farmhouse into a bed and breakfast. They eventually will have holiday cabins, called gites which are more self service. Hank is a builder which is one thing which makes this plan even remotely reasonable.
They are restoring a bit at a time. Their kitchen will be featured on an HGTV program about before and after.
They have been collecting old furniture for the guest rooms.
They have 60 acres and so have horses, chickens and a donkey.
They all went down to the stream to look for frogs
I stayed by the pool
We had a great visit. Alec was very happy to see his friend again, and they gossiped about former colleagues and laughed about stuff that is funny later, but not so much at the time. Cindy made a fabulous confit de canard with haricot vert and potatoes from their garden. We drank wine from the area and had cheese to finish.
