So, this is what it is like for a former council house and grammar school kid to travel through life and end up living in an ancient winemakers house within sight of the Pyrennees and the Mediterranean. Some rants, some musings, a few funny tales and mostly an insight into a daily adventure into french culture and language. The amount of vitriol and spelling mistakes are directly in proportion the the volume of locally produced luscious pink wine consumed by the scribe.
