Date: Saturday 1st July 2017 Weather: Overcast Mile: 000 /
Still overcast but today we are off South to Hendrick the Dutchman's Restaurant in
Busserolles 24360. This is just down the road from Angie's sisters house. She and her husband Steve have bought an older style farm house and have been working on it for three years or so. Today we have the pleasure of the company of Jackie's two grandchildren, Owen and Erin. Aged 9 and 7. They are both fluent in Spanish, having been born in Madrid and English, their second language, was excellent. A slight trace of Brummie twang could be heard if you listened hard. Their mother Kerry teaches English to bank employees and believe it or not hails from Cannock. That's somewhere near ??? Birmingham?? Tup North. The benefit of a mixed language marriage. They were on holiday with Jackie and Steve for a few weeks.

Wot no pasty? |
The short downhill journey to the local village square with its bar and restaurant was an easy drive. Hell walking back I would imagine after a few shandies!
The entrance into the bar area on arrival was somewhat, how can I put it, dismal but the welcome was very warm. Once again move into the restaurant part and it was a different story altogether. Very clean, light and airy with great service and a fairly comprehensive menu choice for a lunchtime.
Lunch for Mike started with a buffet including crabs legs/pincers, langoustines, cold meats, pasta, salads etc. The main course was Moules et Frites followed by a three cheese selection course then an extremely light cheesecake.
Still on the old Mediterranean diet!
By the time we departed it was 1515hrs and we were stuffed. Refusing more drinks at Jack and Steve's we took our leave and within ninety minutes we were back at Le Buis sat on the couch sipping our T.
