I hosted a lunch party today, with 19 women friends at L’Atelier D’Auria. We were greeted with music by a young local pianist. We went upstairs to a long table set with beautiful fresh flowers from Caroline and Ingrid’s gardens. Auria prepared a wonderful meal, with many courses. Everyone ate plenty. I prepared a question game with everyone “winning” a chocolate bar. We talked until 3, with many of my friends meeting women they didn’t know before, from Lectoure and various nearby villages. It was a lot of fun! I am blessed to have so many friends in the Gers!
