The day had started with local cider from the barrell at Arbonne, a little town in the French Basque countryside, and then lunch under the canopy of trees of L'Auberge d'Achtal in Arcangues, another small village, with friends Willi and Arantza and a good bottle of Pessac (claret), cèpes and magret. And to forget about the "Botticelli" in good spirit, we ended the day with Kir Royale's by the sea, at the garden bar of La Reserve in St Jean de Luz.
No lo encontré en Sussex (Ver PARADISE LOST). Esta vez fue en el Salon de Design des années 50 aux années 70 en Biarritz. Me hubiera gustado comprar esta variación de Botticelli de Yves Clerc, aunque solo fuera para celebrar la Pascua :) pero costaba 40.000 euros.
El día había empezado con sidra local, de barril, en Arbonne, un pueblito del Pais Vasco francés, y luego la comida bajo la carpa de árboles del Auberge d'Achtal en Arcangues, otro pequeño pueblo, con Willi y Arantza y una buena botella de Pessac(Burdeos), setas y magret. Y para olvidar el "Botticelli" sin pena, acabamos el día tomando Kir Royales, junto al mar, en el bar del jardín de La Reserve, en San Juan de Luz.
Hello:
ReplyDeleteBut the day you describe sounds absolutely perfect. A delicious lunch, the meeting up with friends, time by the sea, and glorious weather thrown in.
And just remember, you are now €40.000 better off!
it was a great day! see you soon in Linares!!
ReplyDeleteThis version is beautiful. Her eyes are haunting.
ReplyDeleteThe red shutters are darling!
kir royale is always a wonderful way to end the day:)
ReplyDeletebtw, thanks for letting me know i had a couple of bupkiss links, i just fixed them up:)
What a beautiful day, the seaside pictures, the Botticelli, transport.
ReplyDeleteThe day was quite good, wasn`t it? At least the photos look wonderful. I haven't decided what my feelings are in regards to Klimt printed on a tea cup.
ReplyDeleteOlga: Oh, the day was great, certainly, no regrets about the painting, something to associate to the beautiful day more than anything else. But I do not get your reference to Klimt printed on a tea cup. Something you were thinking of buying? If you want an opinion, I wouldn't buy it. Am I too late?
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect. I love the photo with the red shutters...makes me want to paint the entire interior of my house white and have splashes of colour everywhere that just pop. And the story of the photo is interesting too.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful- and I adore that piece of furniture.
ReplyDeleteA very nice day, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love her! And isn't it nice sometimes to not own something, but to still be able to enjoy its beauty...
ReplyDeletethis trip seemed just perfect, no? too bad for the painting, but as an old man said, you can't always get what you want (but if you try sometimes, well, you might find you get what you need)
ReplyDelete40.000 euros~ definitely not a basement bargain! Love it whenever you share your personal photos, Pet!
ReplyDeleteAh Kir Royales by the sea! How glamourous! Um the Boticelli is just wonderful, but as you say, just a tad too expensive. Find an art student who can reproduce it for you at a fraction of the price!
ReplyDeleteYou are really funny. I don't buy this kind of stuff. May be for friends ?:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had really good time-nice picture in the restaurant!
