Summertime has come around again….and, with it come lots of hazy days spent with family and friends…good times!! A sunny evening, friends gathering for a scrumptious Summer Barbecue and loads of chatter…what more could you ask for?!! Summertime menus give an opportunity to “show-off” all the scrumptious fresh produce available during these long, sun-filled months! Butterflied leg of lamb, marinated in a good glug of olive oil, a smathering of Dijon Mustard, a few garlic cloves and lots of rosemary…accompanied by a large bowl of cous cous, seasoned with harissa, a good dash of lime juice (and zest), with roasted summer vegetables….Summer Sunshine on a plate!! Enjoy!!

But, Summertime for me,  also means spending time in France collecting more special French “Frintage”   pieces…Such fun!! And this year is no exception….!! Time spent meandering through the French countryside, searching out and finding those wonderful items which  will appeal, is certainly one of my most favourite activities!!
