Wonders of The Web

A few weeks ago we suddenly received on our blog a comment on a very old posting which showed a picture of our house.  The comment was from somebody in Argentina. It said that their great grandfather was born in our house and as they were coming to France in July they would like to come and see the house. Alarm bells immediately rang; we were convinced that it was a hoax - we do get emails from Nigeria from time to time!! So we judiciously ignored it. However Luis and Vicky turned up but unfortunately we were out. However they met John and Lesley our neighbours who did "the honours". We have since corresponded with Luis and Vicky on their return to Argentia. They sound lovely people and we were sorry to have missed them. Luis sent us a photograph of his great grandfather and I am sure he won't mind us sharing it with you.

And the wonders keep on geting better.  John tracked down (via the net) a "caviste" who had some of the coveted "Duras 2010" wine.  So we hurriedly made the pilgrimage to Montauban to collect it and, low and behold, it was cheaper than buying it from the producer.
