On Thursday we met up with Penny and David and their two children Lily and Jasper. Penny's blog soupedujour is my favourite blog which I've been reading long before we even left Mount Isa. It has been an invaluable source of information about moving to France and the ups and downs of what to expect on the way and also when you arrive.
We actually bumped into Penny on her way to the shops before we were due to meet up for lunch which was funny because I saw her walking toward us and thought to myself "That has to be Penny!" and it was. It was nice. I'd seen photos of the family on the blog and real life is usually different but I recognized her when I saw her and she recognized us.
Meeting friends for lunch was lovely. Penny made raclette which we hadn't had before. She had this nifty little appliance which has little tiny shovels to put the special raclette cheese on to melt and then you tip it on your potato and it melts over the potato and is really yummy. Dessert was chocolate mousse which was scrumptious.
We spent a very pleasant afternoon chatting on the balcony overlooking the beautiful canal and the kids played happily together. We were looking over at a restaurant on the other side of the canal and we thought to ourselves I bet those people are looking over at us and thinking how lucky we are to have friends with a balcony apartment in the centre of Annecy to sit and enjoy. It was pretty special.
