Phew that coffee took a while.
The wine gods have been happy with our efforts on the last few nights.
We are keeping the dead soldiers on the windowsill as a tribute, am not sure that it is wide enough for a week.
We arrived in « Maison Haute », which is in Bayens, Puisseguin (not pronounced pissed again).
We have a 4 bedroom place with family & friends coming & going during the week, it's great.
There has been a pattern established, up by 09:00 for breakfast, off to the local markets to get some coffee & organise lunch & dinner by 11:00, back home for lunch at abt 12:30, a few hours of leisure & then a lot of hours of eating & drinking.
repeat.
We are having difficulty spending more that $AU10.00 on wine, but we are bravely putting up with this.
The local markets are just amazing, we forget that Sydney is an expensive city. It's hard not to laugh when you can get 2 KG of beautiful tomatoes for about $3.00, and a 6-pack of wine for $40.
