24 hours in France

We've just had a weekend in France with dad (who's now in great shape) to restock on wine and all those French things that are difficult to find over here. The hotel we always stay at in Cherbourg had been remodelled since we were last there. Even though it was always good it's now amazing although the price has crept up a bit since last time - but it was well worth it and as always the restaurant was fantastic.

We were a bit strapped for time on this visit so for lunch we found a great new place in town to eat called Brasserie du Commerce - it was very inexpensive but great food and very friendly. They even gave us two really nice Leffe glasses!

We finally can back with about 200 litres of wine between us and a few bags of groceries, so that should keep us going for quite a while! And the bonus is that we've managed to deprive the chancellor of about £200 or so in duty.
