Bitter sweet evening

Apero at Thérèses house...

...first time since her death. Her daughter Sophie and son-in-law Dennis invited me and Andy; it was wonderful to be there again and awful that she wasn't there. Though there was a strong sense of her about to pop in.

Here is the hunting scene over the fireplace


- and the adorable grandchildren, Gregoire and Solange


Below are Sophie and Dennis. They are selling the house, ending the long line that has been here since before 1500.

We remembered the first ever French apero there at Thérèse and Mimi's invitation; non of us knew we were supposed to go after an hour, beginning the now-acceptable tradition of English apero, where no-one goes home and someone goes out and gets some food. Or not.
