Yesterday we had an amazing day with some members of our family.

We started with a trip to Duras for Cafe cremes & pastries in Regine's. Then a wander through the market tasting lovely cheeses & sauccisons.

Then we drove to Chateau de Sanse for a beautiful 3 course lunch, regardez the pictures! A leisurely 3 hour lunch, love the civilised way the French take an age to eat their food.

So what to do after a lovely lunch. Ah some shopping, groans from the men but we women won. Off to St Emilion a beautiful medieval town, they say its the most famous wine region in the world. So a bit of wine tasting with our friend Benoit, he has this private wine tasting room & because we have known him for 5 years he always spoils us with his kindness & generosity.

My sister in law & I bought some beautiful jewellery ( Girls this really was a great day). After a steep walk to the top of the Town, then of course its all downhill. At the bottom is the lovely restaurant The Medieval, we had chilled beers in the late afternoon sunshine.

Then home to open a Double Magnum bottle of red wine on the front terrace watching the sunset. Just a great day, good food, good wine, good company, what else could we wish for?
