Tomates à la Provençale

Leaving France has never been easy. Try as I may, melancholy always grabs a hold of me, and as soon as the highway is in sight and la France profonde vanishes into the distance, I inevitably have to grab for the tissues. This time, however, I was happy to leave France, or better said, I was happy to be heading home. The trip that started off with the horrible luck of having our car break down in the blazing sun, didn’t end too well either.
