a peak into this week in the Minervois!…

We’ve had a public holiday and lots of time for exploring and catching up with friends and family (the Frenchie side.  But I’m counting down the days to catching up with the Aussie one!).

We had a visit from winemaking friends from Australia, Elva and Ron Laughton of Jasper Hill.  Benji showed them around the cellar in the village.  Thanks for the visit and the Roquefort guys…

macarons from Toulouse
a delicious gift from my sister-in-law in Toulouse. I can’t believe, after all these years, it’s the first time I’ve ever tasted a macaron.

un chasseur
Beware wild piggies, it’s hunting season again. Walks in the countryside don’t feel the same when your paths are littered with cartridges…
