Received an invitation from Alan's good friend Shereen to spend some time in French countryside. Was told that Shereen's house is near a town called Belves, in the Perigord region (south west of France). Never heard of the place, so I googled. Guess what, Belves turns out to be one of the most beautiful villages in France!

The house dates from 17th century and Shereen's grandmother bought it at the early part of the last century. It certainly felt special to be staying in a place that has so much history behind it. The antique furnitures that Shereeen's grandma collected made the place feel luxurious but maintaining a cozy touch. Very tastefully done.

Having been a city girl most of my life, I was enjoying the nature thoroughly - picking cherries from the trees, trying out blackberries first time in my life, smelling the roses, cutting herbs from the garden. Shereen probably thought I was a little mad, getting so excited over some fruits.
