Lucky

I've always thought that I have good luck, but this duck is much, much luckier!

Talking about lucky, we had a good find last night. Thwarted in our attempt to eat curry at Five Roses in Lunel, because it was shut, we headed back to Sommieres and noticed that the Restaurant L'Estocade, 8 rue Abbe Fabre, 0466 53 48 06, was open. They offered a 13.5 euros menu, which was itself unusual for a town centre restaurant. I didn't fancy the starters so I went for the carte but the others, Jan, Gill and Bryan made the right choice. They had stuffed mussels, meat and pudding, all of which looked, and tasted good. It was an interesting, well priced menu, with an inexpensive wine list. Recommended. (For locals, it's on the opposite side to L'Olivette, which was closed, a bit further up the road).

Jan, who wants to buy the Sunday Times at the airport, offers to take Vincent and me for our flight to London. More to follow about the behind-the-scenes at a London wine fair.
