A good day out...

Early on Tuesday we had to go up to Loches so I could get a dodgy knee x-rayed (old age eh!) so decided to make a day of it. From Loches we took in a visit to Blere, which included a bit of wine buying as well as a walk through their Christmas preparations.

Then it was over to Chargé to pick up some sparkling rose from 'Plou et Fils' where they were well into the Christmas spirit.

We had booked lunch in Amboise at the 'Bistrot du Terminus' where you get good service and three course lunch with wine for 20 euros.  

 We also took a walk through Amboise which like Blere has been dressed for Christmas.

Wines and vines

Went over to Charge near Amboise on Wednesday with friends Mike and Liz  to 'Plou et Fils' to stock up on  their delightful wines.

Their new set up is impressive.

Took a walk up to the vineyards on the high ground to check out the autumn colours...

...glad I did!
