Last night, neighbours Nicky and Graham, and friends Chris and Delphine came to dinner. Jan prepared as a starter, pan fried Rouget fillets on a bed of leeks, followed by duck, slow cooked, with ginger and star anise on a bed of noodles. Lemon syllabub with an apricot compote brought up the rear. All this was washed down with a Marsanne/Roussanne mix from Domaine Arnal and a 2002 Hardiesse from Chateau de Valflaunès. I suffered a bit this morning but was fighting fit again by 11.00. (Aren't you a big brave boy? - Ed.)
