We’ve been doing a few recce runs through the supermarkets to see what we want to eat and came across some ambient temperature TV dinners and although we don’t have a TV we thought because these are cook in simmering water they seemed worth trying. We’ve now tried two which one can only say were […]
We’ve been having a few issues with finding places to eat since we have been here because of two main issues, firstly we are in the period when this area of France have traditionally taken holidays so quite a few places are closed because of that but the second reason is this bloody Covid19 as […]
