Just returned from a lovely week in a gite near Cognac. Much sampling of the local fare carried out, with the highlight being the discovery of a truly drinkable Rose costing just €1,29 per bottle - bargain. The joy of having our car with us meant I could literally fill my boot with it before we left. The Remy-Martin distillery made for an excellent visit, and the seaside at Fouras was marvellous.
We also took in the "pointless" but very cute donkeys at the local "asinerie" - the Baudet du Poitou. No good for riding or working apparently and kept purely to be bred with the local horse breed to make useful mules - except that no one uses mules any more. Fortunately for the Baudet du Poitou the French are very hot on preserving their cultural heritage, so this state-run farm is devoted to preserving the breed.
Back to earth with a bump this week. Sadly for KMUK we're saying goodbye to our events manager Cassie King today. She's departing for pastures new courtesy of Devere venues - we'll miss you Cassie!
