Holly’s birthday yesterday (she’s 30 – how old I feel, actually, I am!) & spent the past few days in Champagne with her & her partner Pete. Stayed at an absolutely magical place www.aupresdeleglise.com - check it out. An iconic French farmhouse, sumptuous food & great hospitality. Spent the days tasting fizz at different ‘caves’, both small & uber glam. And of course stock acquired for the next few weeks.
Today we took a rather more sobering visit to the Verdun battlefields. Poignant, sad.
Been in Europe a month now & spent the first 3 weeks in the UK, both London & elsewhere. Highlights were the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke-on-Trent, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire & the David Hockney Museum in Saltaire, Yorkshire.
