Christele was our first host, we met her through the Homelink organisation and stayed with her and her two children for two nights.
They were very welcoming and hospitable and the three children were a delight. They made a meal of cheese that night for us - which we had never seen before. Thee must have been 4-5 kilo's of cheese. Wow! three plates full of beautiful french cheese.
Their house was an old three story house with five bedrooms and huge glass family room and kitchen which overlooked the garden. Christele was a Super Woman looking after three children and working as a journalist and very busy - then having us a guests.
Peroone is in the area of the Somme Battle field. We visited beautiful quaint villages and many cemetaries including a large Australian one. The one thing I really loved as we were driving arrive the area was the great expanse of water - rivers and lakes, but also beautiful poppies everywhere. It was like the Fury's song of the 1st world war in the green fields of france and watching the red poppies dance. It was quite a sombre experience.
The next night we cook a BBQ - however it wasn't a gas BBQ but one using coals and not very easy to get going. However we drank lots of wine and it didn't seem to matter!
