Ah! The quintessentially French experience, well at least since Peter Mayle wrote his book. It is a beautiful part of the world when the sun shines – Van Gogh and Cezanne captured that! We spent 3 days in Avignon, where a huge Theatre Festival is held every July. The vibe was great, but in rather wimpy fashion we did not attend even one show due to our very poor command of the French language. We had to look in at Chateau Neuf de Pape again and we have one excellent bottle of red to be opened when we get our next van visitors! Has anyone ever tasted lavender ice cream? It is now Neil’s favourite flavour after about 30 years of being a rum and raisin fan! We are going to make it when we get back to SA – this will have to include a visit to Margaret Robert’s farm, I guess!

Neil as a true rum and raisin fan, it will take some doing - so I can't wait to taste the lavender ice cream. You can start the Greenie brand in SA!Just think about it! basil, mint lemongrass. We will be your customers as we are relocating back to JHB in Oct. It seems you are having a great time. Have a glass of the the Pope's wine and think of your jealous Singapore friends!
