Life is hard

So today I am struggling to adapt to the routine. I woke around 8:00 (a miracle in itself) and wandered down for breakfast.

They have 5-6 baguettes delivered every morning. Delicious. The fruit is fresh and local. Delicious. The coffee is strong - and yes, delicious.

After a strenuous couple of hours, we loaded up to go to the market in Cholet. We got rained on, but who cares? Booth after booth of produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. More macarons, some saucisson sec, and off to the regular store for chicken. Back to the maison for lunch.

A light lunch, with only 4-5 glasses of wine over a couple of hours. Then a nap. I am now off to the kitchen to learn to make biscotti from one of the other guests, who came here via Italy.

It's tough, but I believe I am up to the task.

One more shot - this is the dinner bell, as if I needed help.
