We went away this weekend, to Andrew's parents' little fisherman's cottage by the sea. There was not one other person there all weekend. The weather was by turns cold and clear, and dark and stormy, and there is a Dover stove inside the cottage. Perfect setting for a lovely winter weekend.

| Cold and clear |
 |
| Starting to get stormy |
We ate this snacky lunch by the stove Saturday afternoon:
 |
Camembert, cold roast beef, Black Forest ham, cucumber, carrots, and apple.
There was bread involved too, and wine. |
Later we put an enormous chicken on the braai, along with some sweetcorn. I set the table with knives and forks, but we went at it with our fingers. It was very good.
 |
| And more wine |
And then we made s'mores! Inside by the Dover stove, since inside was warm and outside was cold and rainy.
 |
| S'more! |
And this happened, so it was really a perfect weekend.
At first I started looking at this post because I love coastal escape. Then I saw the bling... Yay! What a perfect weekend indeed :)
