Well here we are on Boxing Day although it is not called that here in France.
yesterday was a quiet one in Chateau Didi deux, we were up at 3am, drinking champagne at 5am and then asleep again at 10am!
After a fabulous lunch of chestnut and mushroom wellington, we had another sleep and then watched DVD's.
ah the joys of just lazing around.
As there is no BT sport here I decided to rely on social media for cricket news, and when I awoke from the most marvellous slumber I was aware that David Warner getting a century was not boding well for England.
We got dressed and headed out, I couldn't face any cricket info.
So we went on a champagne crawl around town.
Interesting it was too, at Champagne Rubaud, we learnt that they are 6th generation champagne producers and we were down in 'la cave' with all of his champgne.
Selling Brut, Sec, and demi Sec ( as you would expect) it was very interesting to hear of his family coming to the area in 1821,staying in the hotel Pomme d'Or ( where the Dame stayed when she first arrived).
How the first child of this family nearly died of cholera and the fact that they named the champagne 'Comte de Bar' after the 'Comte who built the church of St Maclou, which is right in front of the Dames house as she is in Le Place St Maclou!
A great and intersting time.
We went up also too Champagne Gilles Leseurre which is super swanky.
I have a lot more tasting to do I can tell you.
Then home for a late lunch and champagne natrually.
And what of the cricket?
Welll Australia closing on 244-3 makes it interesting for tomorrow.
right all off to eat, drink and go to the bar later.
happy Boxing Day
