A lover of books (everything, well mostly), film, music (early music, classical, jazz, world and folk, especially music off the beaten track), history (especially ancient and medieval), good food and wine, travel, walking, art (looking at), listening to the radio, and sitting somewhere warm with a cold beer and espresso watching the world go by.

Brrr!
The skies are clearing and the roads around the village have started to ice up again, even though they have now been ploughed clear of snow. My wife has not yet made it home unfortunately. Along with the Julia Child 'Beef Burgundy' recipe for dinner, I have just put a rice pudding in the oven (courtesy of Nigella Lawson). Might even be tempted by a glass of wine, probably a bottle of red bought from a small vineyard in Le Puy Notre-Dame this summer. Their white wine was so good that we bought a case, and it is a stunner. We certainly intend revisiting the village, hotel and vineyard next year. I'm not sure if these grapes came from the Loire Valley, but they certainly do look good.
