Last evening here, and it has been a jam-packed week. Wonderful day today taking photographs of this lovely home away from home, and taking my last lunch at my favourite place. For dinner Père G has his ascot which symbolized "event." And his bright red (cardinal?) sweater. I brought out my 2 bottles of wine, St Augustin and Koutoubia, and for dessert we were gâtés - aside from chocolate pudding, the cooks made a beautiful chantilly and chocolate cake, with the last lemons of the garden, and decorated it ornately in patterns reminiscent of henné. My friend C came (former resident who recently moved to an apartment), as well as S who is a resident but usually does not dine. So it was a closure with much warmth, very special and touching.
Off to London in the morning. Sigh!
