French trip
Stuff about trip so far:
- Eaten snails, frogs legs and foie gras in the last few days.
- Tasted some really rad wines.
- Met some amazing people including the father and mother of one of our producers who are 92 and 94 respectively, think that is pretty sweet. The people here just seem to be content with stuff.
- Spent lots of time with my dad, he is full of wisdom, surprisingly!
- Seen the city of Bordeaux. So clean and beautiful. There are road sweepers and cleaners in constant use. No litter on pavements etc. All of the buildings have to have the front cleaned properly every 5 years. Also a really kool tram :D
- Done A LOT of thinking, some of it hasn’t helped me but some of it has.
- Taken notes on every wine I have tasted. Don’t normally do this. So far for this trip I have notes on 70 wines. Go me!
- Read two books so far, Alan Partridge book and a Bill Hicks one. Both good.
- Think I have put on about a stone, so much food. Massive purge and gym phase when I return to blighty.
- I like lists. Might add to this soon.
