Weekly Love: the one where we party in a beautiful French Château

1. Saying goodbye to the beautiful house that has been our Brittany home for the past 12 years. | 2. Enjoying a wonderful bruschetta in the garden at my favourite pub, The Compasses Inn in Crundale during a beautiful evening hosted by Russell Norman bringing a taste of Venice to the Kentish countryside. | 3. Getting all dressed up to celebrate the French leg of my best friends wedding in a stunning chateau in Brittany.| 4. Enjoying a rose soaked, late night barbecue on the French patio on the hottest day of the year.| 5. Yet another opportunity of bridesmaids photos! | 6. Exploring all the great independent food stores on my new local high street. Going back for some of these tomatoes once I’m back in the city tonight!
