This friend is somebody who gave me good advice at critical points in my younger days, and who was always encouraging and smart. It was good to see her again and to see that she is doing well.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-55236279751008790932016-08-06T15:31:00.300+02:002016-08-06T15:31:00.300+02:00What a wonderful evening you had!

Recently I heard that they plan to stop selling their cheeses at the markets in Saint-Aignan and Montrichard, keeping them available only at the farm. We'll see. We were happy to see that the restaurant was full of families — young parents with several children each. So the children are learning to appreciate good food.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-19456820693279558552016-08-06T10:51:28.660+02:002016-08-06T10:51:28.660+02:00The Gamay/Pinot Noir wine was really very good.

So they haven't gotten rid of the goats, despite Françoise telling me they were going to, just as you predicted would happen :-) Knowing the <i>ferme-auberge</i> somewhat I can well imagine how delicious the food was and what a pleasant experience it was.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-73103353157393753292016-08-06T08:06:59.221+02:002016-08-06T08:06:59.221+02:00Glad you enjoyed your diner at the Ferme-Auberge w...Glad you enjoyed your diner at the Ferme-Auberge with your new old friends!
