Envie de partage ce matin avec ce petit film qui décrit très bien l'environnement dans lequel je me réveille chaque jour.
St Cirq Lapopie se situe à 7 kms de ma maison d'hôte, le chemin de halage et la vallée du Lot à 4 et la grotte de Pech Merle à 1, juste au dessus du village de Cabrerets.
La vue de ma fenetre est similaire à celle sur St Cirq Lapopie mais donne sur la vallée du Célé et le village de Cabrerets et son chateau...
Si vous avez des envies de dépaysement, pensez a nous! Mais faites vite, les chambres se remplissent déjà, surtout en Mai...

Needing to share this morning with this short film that describes very well the environment in which I wake up every day.
St Cirq Lapopie is located 5 miles away from my B&B, the Halage trail and the Lot Valley at 3 and the Cave of Pech Merle less than a mile away, just above the village of Cabrerets.
The view from my window is similar to that of St Cirq Lapopie except that it overlooks the Célé River and the village of Cabrerets and its castle instead...
If you need a change of scenery, think of us! But hurry, our rooms are filling up quickly, especially in May...

Just a note to let all of you know that David and I are doing well. We love our new life in France and the B&B has been quite busy even though the season hasn't even started yet... We have learned so much in the last fee months, mostly to cook French food, know more about this area and the local wines ;-), have been lucky to have the visit of a few of our dear ex customers, yes already... And hope for a lot more of you to make the trip...

I will post more soon about the areas we have visited and some pictures but for right now, I just wanted to say hello and tell you that neither David nor I have forgotten you.

Had time to add some pictures to our website for the B&B; check them out!

The is no lack of interesting sites around Cabrerets: – The medieval town of Saint-Cirq Lapopie, with thirteen listed historic buildings, is one of the most beautiful villages in France. …

We opened our Bed & Breakfast today with 2 guests staying in our Garden room (see photos). It was also our first dinner dinner for guests and we treated them to a 3 course dinner, the whole shebang preceded by an aperitif of local specialties such ad Fenelon, a concoction of sweet walnut and red wine sweetened by black currant liquor, pure duck sausage and dry pork sausage.

The first course was an arugula salad with a local goat cheese, Cabecou, with local honey and wine and walnut bread baked down the street.

The main course was a duck confit accompanied by sauteed young potatoes and a zuchini and pesto flan with a light cream of sundried tomatoes.

Desert was a fresh and local strawberry tiramisu accompanied by a locally made walnut cookie.

Dinner was served with the well known local Malbec from Cahors, the main producing area located 30 minutes away.

And an espresso to insure proper digestion....

It was our first official dinner so we did not think of shooting pictures when our plates where finished... So here they are before being decorated...

Hope to serve you soon...

PS: It all went well, plates came back completely empty except for the bones...

Adios Estados Unidos! Day J -1... I have our boarding passes printed, all papers in order (I hope), Car sold (crossing my fingers) and suitcases almost done... What an achievement!!!!! It looked like it was never going to happen but here it is and David and I are thrilled! Excited for a new beginning.
We sincerely hope to have your visit as we will not be able to come back to the US for a while...
See you there!!!!!

Dear friends and supporters,

As you know our life has been in turmoil for the last several months, with the approaching major life change David and I are getting ready for. Now with our departure around the corner and still so much to get done is when we need your support most.
We are not asking for donations, we are asking you to look over our list of things we are still struggling to sell to raise money for our move and new start.
We are selling all our belongings in the US as we can't afford to have them shipped overseas. The items we are parting with are of great quality and very useful: espresso makers, desks, filing cabinets, a beautiful console, 2 cars, a bicycle, kitchen appliances, kitchenware, a wine cooler, some chairs...
If anyone of you needs any of these items, it would make a huge difference to us in our effort to recover some of the money we have invested here in the US and to have it available towards buying what we need for the B&B.

Please go to our rewards and see what we have for sale, share with your friends if you see fit and be part of our success.
For us this is the opportunity that we hope will insure us a better future; a more stable future. It has been a long time in coming but now we both can see the light at the end of the tunnel...

We have 10 days to accomplish this! Our flight to Europe is on the 29th...

Thank you for your help!

Cathy Beloeil has posted a new update!

2010 Infiniti FX35 87,500 miles
Rear camera, sunroof, leather seats, extra set of rims with great snow tires, excellent condition $22,500.00 or BO
This car is amazing! Great on snow, very safe and so much fun to drive. I would not sell it if I wasn't moving to Europe...
$22,000

Please friends, share my post! I only have a few weeks to sell my car or it will have to be repossessed by the bank... I really don't want that to happen and it is a very good car, better than good, a great car. I paid $28,000 for it a few years ago and I am just trying to get what I owe so I can pay my debt before leaving....

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!
I wish you all a little balance and happiness in your life; a warm and joyful dinner with loved ones; a few hours during which we can all forget the sadness and injustice in the world enough to enjoy the moment...
And while we rejoice in this comfort and replenish our hearts with love, lets send a wave of good energy towards our hurting world and its inhabitants, not all of them lucky enough to be able to take a break from their misery to have a nice dinner with friends and family...
I am giving thanks for my family and friends, most of them alive and well, for the new chance given to me and David to start a new life, for being healthy enough to enjoy life and the beauty of my surroundings, for having someone like David in my life, someone generous and kind.
Namaste

Cafe Boheme paraphernalia for sale!!!!!
Need some souvenir of your favorite coffee shop?
Now is the time! I still have mugs, other retail items, assorted Republic of Tea tea boxes, our beautiful ceiling lights, chairs, our sign...
To prepare for my big move to Europe, I need to sell all my possessions, including all you will see in the pictures and more...
Know that I would love to see this stuff end up with a trusted and loved customer than with someone who has no idea what this represents for me.
The proceeds will be used partially to keep on paying my debt from the cafe as well as sending some of my personals to my new home.
I so wish I could take all this to my Bed & Breakfast and recreate the beautiful cafe atmosphere there but it is not realistic...
