Aphyllanthe de Montpellier


For some time now we have been intrigued by a beautiful delicate little flower that we see on our walks in the countryside, with the dogs. No one has yet identified it, until today. Celia went into Google (don't you just love Google?) and within a short time had it identified. Details can be found
here.

No trip to our village, Cannes, is complete without a trip to Sommieres. It's Saturday, so it must be Sommieres, but on the way we had to pop into the Cave Cooperative in Carnas to buy some of their delicious champagne. They can't call it champagne, but it is, and it's only about 5.00 euros a bottle. Very nice it is too. Jan and I also wanted to taste this years reds and rosés. We have always said that if we had to buy from only one cave we would probably shop at Carnas. They have a wide range of consistently good wines, at a reasonable price. Good stuff!

Tonight I barbecued lamb and pork, but modesty prevents me from saying how (bloody) good it was, so I won't. What Jan cooked was pretty good as well!
