Chicken Run

The day started early with a trip to the printers to see about some posters after which we rendez-voused with 23 others from the Association for a day out. First a visit to a free-range egg producer. I would never have thought that there was so much to see and that I'd be bowled over by a load of poultry! They really were magnificent creatures with the most beautiful plumage. The cocks even had plumes on their feet. From there it was on for a wine tasting where the vigneron has won several medals over the years for his wine. His white from last year's harvest won a gold medal in Paris recently and was just sublime. Once we'd worked our way through white, red, rosé and a Riversaltes it was time for lunch with paella on the menu. After lunch most of us went for a walk to some Roman ruins while a couple of the others (who shall rest nameless) had a wee siesta. The sun was warm and the excercise just what we needed. Home to the dentist who has decided that I need a crown and as the sun was still shining an apéritif on the terrace of the bar. Feels as if summer is finally heading our way.
ps This morning's visit put me in mind of the film " Chicken Run" with all its different characters only none of this lot seemed in the least bit interested in escaping their 5* treatment.
