French Trip to Honfleur 2011
Nigel's Photographs
Here are the promised pictures taken by Nigel. It was a bonus to have to update the web pages for this trip as it brought back many good memories of the event.
.
The first two photographs are of
us preparing to leave for the tour of the Normandy countryside and
the second our arrival at the Calvados distillery.
The next seven relate to the tour of the distillery,
starting at the still itself and progressing through
the ancient building where the Calvados matures in the very old oak barrels and
finally to where we
actually get to taste the various vintages and get persuaded to buy some!
At dinner on the last evening Jennifer and I were presented
with a very apt present of a
huge or as John would say "ooge" bottle of Calvados. It will last us years!
Poor Peter was feeling knackered so retired to bed earlier
than usual. Left on her own Leigh
decided to have a bit of fun with our host, as you can see from the following 3
photographs.
I can't imagine that Peter, when he sees these photographs will be in the
slightest bit worried
and Leigh knew very well that she was on safe ground as our host, good as he
was, was very
very gay.
And finally a jolly photo of pre-dinner drinks on on of the balconies.
