Holiday Jobs

David and I completed removing the 'crepie' from the section of wall of the house which we'd set as our target (although he did more of it than I did!). We want to leave people feeling that they want to come back again!

Last Sunday night we went for a meal in a nearby restaurant which had been recommended to us. The meal was very good and we had a really nice bottle of wine there. So nice that we went to the chateau the next day to check it out.

We couldn't tour the chateau as it is a private residence, and we believe that it is owned by the Cartier family, hence the picture in a book.

We had a very good tasting session, trying 4 of their wines ranging from 7.50 euros (£5 ) to about 27 euros ( £18 ) - a bottle that is. So, of course we had to buy some, and it is good. But the meal led to a greater outlay of money than we had anticipated.

So now I've got to think about where to have my wine cellar!
