I happened to go to one of these meals, in Gers, for the birthday of a good friend of my parents. A memory to cherish... and all the afternoon at the table. :-)

What a wonderful way to while away an afternoon in good company. We British could learn so much from the way the French approach food and eating together. Thank you Laura.

Oh how I wish your e mails were more often! As a traveler to many parts of France since my first trip in 1966, I relate so fondly to those long languid meals as the courses flowed one to the other carried by multiple conversations that together seemed, to my teenage ears, like a symphony. So warm and joyful. You capture that memory beautifully…thank you!

Dear Jan,

What a lovely response, thank you. We could all do with a bit more warmth and joy, that's for sure. The newsletters will now be monthly so keep an eye out. Amitiés, Laura
