We went to visit friends of friends who lived here in a house that they lovingly rebuilt and restored which was part of the ramparts of the Château de Castlenau-Bretonoux.
Bretonoux is a 12th century walled Bastide town in the Lot Department of France that sits at the foot of the Castle of Castelnau.
The photos in this post were captured on our very first travels to France in September 2003.
We were wandering the narrow streets and lanes surrounding the Chateau ... it was a Sunday at lunch time ....
How wonderful for everyone to sit and share their meal together at one table.
As our family over the years keeps expanding it is near impossible for this to happen inside our home for holiday celebrations, i.e. Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I am always trying to find solutions so that we can all be together ... it may be to time rent a hall or go to a restaurant for these events.
Or maybe we should celebrate during the beautiful Summer months, set up continuous tables in a row and we could all sit together to enjoy the delicious foods and camaraderie of family!
I am writing this today as it is Thanksgiving Day in Canada!
Wishing everyone a "Happy Thanksgiving!"
