(Please go back to my previous post - since posting it originally, I have added some more pictures from Mâcon.)
A weekend is always short, even when it is a long weekend with Friday and Monday added to it.
We had arrived in France on Friday early evening, and left on the Monday a bit after breakfast. The time in between we passed in such a pleasant manner and at such a comfortable rhythm that it felt much longer than "just" a weekend. Of course this was all thanks to our friends from Australia, who have kindly given me permission to show their picture on here and write about them:

To end this series of posts about our weekend in France, I want to show you a lovely place in the heart (pun fully intended) of the village: the pottery.
View from the road - and from inside out. I must admit I nicked the outside view from the Saint Amour homepage. The poterie have their own website here, but it is still being set up and so there is nothing to see yet apart from their address.
My sister and I could hardly tear ourselves away from the friendly cat who lives at the pottery - totally unfazed by visitors! When I stroked her, she purred.
Of course I had asked the lady at the shop for permission to take the picture - it was the only sentence in French I uttered all weekend, but that's what you get when you have two Germans visiting Australians in France :-)
I hope you enjoyed my posts about this mini holiday as much as I did writing the posts!
It sounds like a perfect weekend. Love the kitty cat in the drawer. Now, there's an animal that knows how to relax! :o)
ReplyDeleteI am glad the lady in the shop gave me permission to take the picture - and the cat gave me permission to pet her!
DeleteI very much enjoyed your weekend in France. I look forward to all your walking tours, vacations, adventures, and observations. It is a real pleasure to go along with you on your outings. Thanks for the pictures and travelog.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jill! I am glad you enjoy this part of my blog. For me, writing about things helps to keep them in mind better, and I can always go back and remember where I was and what I've seen and done there years later.
DeleteThat is a great photo of your friends from Australia, they look so relaxed and happy and they shouldn't they be in such a beautiful setting and great company!
ReplyDeleteI have LOVED your photos and descriptions of your trip to France, you really make me want to go. Did you know that my dream is to one day just step foot upon French soil? I am so close when I am on the southeast coast of England! :-)
Yes, Kay, they are just as nice and relaxed as they look on the picture, and isn't it wonderful when a couple are still so happy with each other after decades of marriage that they undertake such a monumental trip, through so many different countries and lasting several months? I think it's great!
