toques et clochers vernissage

 So; Kat (who can drive) took me and Alecia to the vernissage and we knew we hadn't won prizes because we hadn't had the phone call that tells you to be there for the prize giving; nonetheless, we went to look at the competition and see who had won.* And so we did and with one heart decided to leave before the speeches, mostly because Didiers speech of last year was just so good that it couldn't be beat ( I had to tell him about it because he'd forgotten but I remember good)
Leaving before the speeches means you dont get the thimbleful of blanquette afterwards so I offered the girls a muscat at Lucs in recompense.
We were debating whether one muscat was enough when dear Stuart arrived with his friend Tim and offered us a bottle of Blanquette -

 

 here is Luke opening it:)

Much jollity and hilarity occurred and Tim was welcomed to our close-knit community - he will be at the Toques et Clochers tomorrow so please make him feel at home:)


Its all too much for me - I'm off to Spain. Full report later. 
Enjoy the wine fest; the weather will hold, it wouldn't  dare rain on this auspicious day.

 *Well done Ezra!!
