Lunch at the square, St. Guilhem Le Desert

Mmmm, buckwheat pancakes, I heard lots about it. Marcus kept telling me about this pancake stuff, I came to the point where "I now just want to eat it!!!!" 
I never made buckwheat pancake myself. When I made it before, with cream cheese and chive and smoked salmon. It always had wheat in it. Due to Marcus's food intolerance, this pancake had to be 100% buckwheat. He had this before and praised how good it was.

O.K, it was my turn now to taste this. I couldn't wait. 

We had pancakes for two days for our snacks....

That day, we went out for walks. We walked about 4-5 hours, including pottering time. When we got back to the village (downstairs), we were hungry again. We did take snacks with us though. We thought we treated ourselves with pancakes and chips! And we thought I was going back to UK following day. Previous day, we had pancakes too! (after our big walks)
It was so yummy, when I got back home, I made vegan pancake for my late breakfast too. 



On Monday, I had buckwheat pancake with goats cheese and walnuts followed by chocolate ice cream and chantilly. Oh, they were both divine, but I seemed to overload with dairy products on the desert, I had heart burn and tummy ache after that.

On Tuesday, thinking it would be my last day there, so I asked Marcus to go to the cafe opposite to the ice cream shop to eat chips and pancake after our walk. He only had chips. They were good though.



It was also hot and sunny day and we were tired, sparkling water tasted very refreshing. 

After our treat, we sat in the square chatting and drinking spring water coming out from the fountain. Then we saw huge boxer dog attacked an old dog (apparently he was 17yrs old, poor thing...), blood everywhere, a couple guys tried to separate the two, but they couldn't for a while, felt like it went on for long time but I would imagine it only went 5mins or so. By the time two dogs were separated, little dog bled really badly and in shock, couldn't stand up. He was taken to the vet, but later I was told he was put to sleep straight away due to the serious injury on his hip. I still remember the eyes the dog had, shock and fear. Poor thing. Villagers were saying at the same time they relieved it wasn't a child. I now wonder what happened to the boxer, he should be put to sleep, he wasn't safe to anyone now.... I felt a bit useless afterwards, I couldn't help, I wanted to, but not sure how.
