I too hope that the good weather lasts into November.<br /><br />Ladybird, I wish I did have an idea of the number of kilos of tomatoes we harvested, but the best I can come up with is ... many.

I wish I could have been there to meet her, as she regularly leaves nice comments on my blog. We seem to be on the same wave length when it comes to kitchens, cooking and typical Loire Valley villages :)) Martine<br /><br />P.S. You and Walt are doing a great job on your garden. Any idea of how many kilos of tomatoes you've harvested this year?ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-60610490480851478362009-09-29T15:46:32.490+02:002009-09-29T15:46:32.490+02:00Forgot to mention that it took me years, too, to l...Forgot to mention that it took me years, too, to learn the trick of dropping the trimmings onto a tarp for easier cleanup.<br /><br />Too soon old, too late smart! ;-)<br /><br />BAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-22033824608536803692009-09-29T15:42:36.229+02:002009-09-29T15:42:36.229+02:00I wish you many more weeks of beautiful fall weath...I wish you many more weeks of beautiful fall weather, Ken.<br /> <br />And thanks for the pronunciation of St Cirq Lapopie, I've been there too, after the tourist season thank goodness, and I wasn't sure if the Q was pronounced.<br /><br />BettyAnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-18270783487766766102009-09-29T15:08:34.329+02:002009-09-29T15:08:34.329+02:00Nadège, as for the bread with the rillettes, I wen...Nadège, as for the bread with the rillettes, I went to a boulangerie in the village called Thésée-la-Romaine, across the river and a little west of Saint-Aignan, on Sunday morning. They had three specialty baguettes, one with rye (seigle) flour, one with whole grains (céréales), and a third -- can't remember exactly what it was -- and I bought one of each. They ran them through the slicing machine for me. So we had plenty of bread.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-39854669746659303752009-09-29T15:03:56.205+02:002009-09-29T15:03:56.205+02:00Saint-Cir' is also the pronunciation I learned...Saint-Cir' is also the pronunciation I learned. Walt and I spent two weeks in the Lot in 1995, going to Cahors, Bonaquil, Rocamadour, Saint-Cirq, Puy-l'Evêque, Gourdon, and a lot of other places.<br /><br />Which planter, Judy? The one with pink petunias (surfinia) in it, under the kitchen window?

I love Septembers in France. The tourists are gone and the weather still nice before the rains arrive.
