I try to be generous with my mince pies, spreading the British cheer around me here in France (much to the bafflement of the French).

A lovely brisk walk to start the day followed by a quick Instagram Live to introduce the first of the 6 bottles in the festive tasting case.

First things first, a lovely long walk through the vineyards this sunny Sunday morning.

There’s a chill in the air this morning and a low damp mist hanging in the air that will lift as the day goes on to reveal the winter sun.

The festive 6 bottle tasting case with goodies goes live tomorrow so today I decided to make one of the recipes I provided.

All systems go at Domaine Vincent Careme this morning. Le Clos 2019 is being bottled so I’m off to take some pics and capture the moment.

Sunday. A day of rest and relaxation. At least that’s what is should be. We do try to have some kind of routine.

Woke up with a thundering headache this morning. That’ll be the sulphites in the wine you drank last night then! No! It won’t be that but…

So, today’s the day my friends in the US. Election day. I hope for two things. Firstly, that people will go out and vote.

Following the outcry from independent shop owners around France, Jean Castex announced new measures last last night.

Sourdough toast and honey for breakfast today, then off to the shops. I’ve taken to wearing my mask now when I go shopping (thanks Juliette).

I think we’re losing the capacity to speak. It must be the lack of contact with the outside world. What’s happening to us?
