3 weeks in Europe

In an extravagant attempt to evade the planting of the garlic and many other fall-clean-up tasks, I jetted off to Europe for 3 weeks. My visit consisted mainly of taking groups wine tasting in the Ribeira del Duero and Rioja regions of Spain and the Chablis, Burgundy and Champagne regions of France.
Needless to say the trip was fabulous, the wine was, on the whole delicious, the winemakers were delightful and the food was fantastic (in particular the cheese). I also got the opportunity to visit friends and family in England which was wonderful. Now safely back in Nova Scotia I am exhausted but glad to be back with Jamie, dogs and a dwindling number of ducks and poultry.
