The construction trailers are still out back, and the road's a mess, but the view of the golden autumn leaves at sunrise is still striking.
Many of the hikers had small backpacks, I assume for snacks and water. Some of these hikes can go twenty kilometers (about 12 miles). I don't know how long this one was. A lot of the people wore red coats, I presume to make them visible to the hunters. And the hunters did arrive at 09h00 as usual, and many hikers were still making their way through the vineyards.
B'jour a deux, I thought you might like that soup recipe after a chilly walk.....Use a 3pint saucepan..... Fry 1 1/2 large diced onions in 1oz butter until transparent, add 1 1/2lbs . of diced pumpkin & 2 x 340grm tins of sweetcorn and sweat the veg for 10mins on a low heat. Add 1 1/4 pints of made up Marigold Swiss Bouillon stock & 1/2pint of whole milk & simmer for 20mins. Season. then blitz, but leave a bit of texture. Simple, but delicious! Good with cheese straws or croutons.

ReplyDeleteThose hikes sound good to me.
ReplyDeletepats, thanks!
ReplyDeletemitch, judy, the hunters do, too. But it's a recent thing. When we were first here, they just wore their hunting green.
elgee, I don't think I read the message in time, but thanks!
evelyn, they would to me, too, except that we each walk the dog every day, so we get our walking in that way.
