This morning the weather has changed substantially. It is cool and windy. A pity as the weather has been so brilliant. We are to make a trip to a seashore Oyster Farm for lunch.
Note the hats loaned by the restaurant. The wind was so strong that they would occasionally blow off. One such incident knocked over a bottle. Julie’s flew the length of the table. Most folk eventually removed them. There are three sizes of the Oysters.
The prawns were magnificent with great flavour. I found the snails to be quite tough. JV liked them quite a bit and was impressed with the chillies infused in them.
The Troops headed off to a local shop for sweets. I had stayed behind but was quickly summoned because the shop was closed.
The place was great with tremendous produce and service. It was a pity about the heavy winds as the weather would have been perfect there otherwise. We get back in our vans and proceed back down the road. We stop at another place which is open.
Back to the Chateau and the typical nap for me.
One of the highlights of the meals is a new variety of heirloom tomatoes at each. I liked the terrine as well.
We also put out the Smoked Salmon Pate with horseradish that we had bought at the Borough Market.
Quite a good day with the seafood lunch and nice wines with the supper.
