French style at Hawkscry

After returning from visiting friends in France Jane and I wanted to have a French style picnic at Hawkscry just to savour a bit the slower pace of enjoying a meal around a table for more than the usual 30 minutes. We felt inspired by the many long and leisurly meals we enjoyed in France with Gloria and Claude on their patio. One day we had a lunch at Marylynn's house which lasted 6 hours! Christian prpepared a feast from North Africa including a superb couscous. We arrived at noon and enjoyed the sunset while returning home through the fields. Quite bucolic! Here you can see our friends Ray, Claudette, Cathy, Tom, Renee enjoying a meal beautifully prepared by Jane and served in long slow courses which gave us the time to enjoy the surroundings and the conversation. I couldn't resist taking a nap under the apple tree, my new favorite place to be.
