In the Line Of Duty

The phone went at about 10.30am and it was the Mayor asking if we could go and represent him at an Association lunch. We cancelled our trip to the market and put on our glad rags and went to strut our stuff. The meal was excellent starting off with foie gras and there was dancing until our feet gave up in protest. It was fun and for once we escaped the cleaning up!
On the way home we stopped off at a new wine cellar where Sandrine was doing a tasting of 'St Amour' in honour of St Valentine's Day. St Amour is one of the ten AOCs and like having to name the seven dwarfs, you can never remember them all. It's been made all the more difficult as 3 others have recently been added to the original list of seven. At over 11€ a bottle we only bought two and thankfully it's nothing like the Beaujolais nouveau that is so commercialised in November. A wine to savour when our thoughts turn to romance.
