Wedding Bells & Blackberries

Our good friends Sophie and Cyril got married last weekend. The wedding was fun and the bride and groom seemed to have a blast. We left earlier than usual for a French wedding (3 am as opposed to 6 am), because both of us were exhausted.

The next day we had a leisurely lunch with my in-laws before going mushroom hunting (no, not those kinds of mushrooms). The season hasn't been good this year for Cèpes or Girolles, so we didn't find any. However, wild blackberries were abundant and we definitely picked our share. The two baskets of berries were used to make a blackberry crumble and blackberry muffins (Yummy!), before being placed in the freezer for another day.

Theo had good time exploring the countryside with his Papy and collecting straw, wood and bricks for school (he is "studying" the Three Little Pigs and is doing a hands-on case study).
