My friend Nelly care takes a chateau near where we live, it is old, in ruin, ultra-romantic and a perfect place to share a meal outside. Nelly recently lost her partner Alain, a kind gentle soul who is deeply missed, he was the main caretaker of the property… The chateau has his memory embedded within every inch. Lou his dog is feeling better after being very disconnected and sad. Grief takes time to go through.
Years ago when Yann first visited Alain at the chateau he came home and said, "Do not go, you will fall in love with it. It is in ruin, not practical, romantic, painted ceilings, massive and you will want to keep it if you see it."
He was right.
But it is too big of a project to restore, and so it remains it a slow state of decay.
Simple meal
great conversation
just the three of us.
Gazpacho, asperges, roasted vegetables, fig walnut bouchons (corks) cheese.
