Our new home in France

While looking for a house to rent, somewhere to base ourselves while we hunt for the right property, we found the perfect house in the perfect spot -and with the help of the lovely people at Cle Rouge Immobilier in Duras it is ours! This blog is primarily for our friends and family to follow the ups and downs of the adventures. However if we don't know you, I hope you'll enjoy the story too, and that one day you may consider booking into our lovely home as a paying guest - you'll be made very welcome!

And still we wait...

We are assured that the wheels are still turning....albeit very slowly. We will get there! It's very difficult to update a blog about a specific event when nothing obvious is happening. So I'm adding this just to let you all know that it's not that I can't be bothered!
While I'm waiting (not even any supply teaching coming in yet - still early in the term though), I am 'researching' on the internet -honest! I'm just easily distracted.

I have learned how to make Greek style yogurt, the first batch made overnight - tastes lovely - creamy and mild.
Recipe

1 litre whole milk, 2 tablespoons live yogurt, warmed and put in a (t)rusty old flask overnight.

strained through a linen cloth in a colander

 and then bottled ready for use. Recipe to be refined and served to future guests with home produced honey and fruit. Something to look forward to.
Now....what to do with the whey....
