Saints Galore and a Drop of Wine

12.11.13:
Despite it being his feast day and despite going away for the night, (Saint) Christian worked at the Mairie all morning. Set off under sunny skies after lunch to drive north of Montpellier to the bed & breakfast that was our last year's Christmas gift from the kids. Nice wee place called l'Ostal de Pic St-Loup.  There was only one other couple,  puppeteers, staying over night. Dinner was creative and Rosa and Dominic were good company.


13.11.13:
The Pic Saint-Loup also gives its name to a much appreciated wine so, needless to say we went in search of the "Pech Tort" vineyard that Bertrand from the B & B had recommended.. From here we drove through the countryside, visiting the medieval villages of  St Jean de Cucucelles and St Martin de Londres on the way. Ended up in Bouzigues (known for its oyster production).and had lunch at No 39 overlooking the Bassin du Thau. Annoyingly, I didn't feel too good afterwards, sore throat and feeling tired.  Not to worry, it won't last.
Henri came down after his English lesson to wait for Michèle whose lesson was 1 hour later. You won't be surprised to know that the apéritif became supper, will you?
