Back Home Again

Have just arrived back home to Montagne, St.Emilion after a spectacular wine tour of the Douro valley and a few memorable days tasting in Porto. Kicked the weighing scale under the cabinet as one should do following a week of excesses. Little or no traffic encountered on route, thirteen hours to arrive home and this included four stops. How did we ever manage before GPS technology? And not once did the GPS shout back!

Stopped for lunch in a small town, Vila pouce de Aguiar, in Portugal. seventeen euro for two meals that included copious servings of sea bream, potato, veg, a side salad, four bottles of sparkling water and a glass of wine! Picked up some fabulous cheeses to taste with Tom and Linda, the owners of the Wine Buff in Sligo, who are travelling out to soak up the atomsphere and do a weee bit of wine tasting.....well I'll keep you posted on the wine tasting.
