I am off work ill for the moment and will be off for two months, and I have to say that for the first time, it is utter joy just to be at home, rest, eat, sleep and of course read and read and read, and not going anywhere. It is very cheap too! I feel rested for the first time in 30 years. The cottage sounds lovely, I will make a note for future reference Welcome back and sounds as if you had a wonderful time.

Here's to lots of Champagne Fridays!!!! Hi Karen,

But in less profitable weeks, it might be Prosecco Friday, and on really bad weeks supermarket own-label Cava Friday. Here’s to lots of Champagne Fridays!!!!

DM - Sorry - forgot the wine. I was impressed by just how good the house wine was in the restaurants we visited and tried quite a few (hic) bottles from the various shops we visited. I particularly enjoyed an organic white Bordeaux that cost the equivalent of £2.10 but couldn't find any when I went back to buy a case a day later. Hubby brought back some St Emilions and Chateauneuf du Papes which he's crowing over every so often. And I brought back a few bottles of Champagne for Friday evenings that are a bit fraught because it's impossible to be fed up or cross with a glass of Mumm or Taittinger in your hand!

Surely you must have been tempted by a foxy little Chablis, with all that fresh sea food? Sounds fantastic – but what about the wine?
