'Red' from Portugal, a break from horrendous weather in favour of a
horrendous hangover!!?


Can't speak for red Portuguese wine, though our Portuguese roofer gave
us a bottle of excellent aperitif white port (yes, it was a very
expensive job). However, we are in the Dordogne here, Bergerac is just
down the road, finding really good red wine is certainly not a problem,
and we are doing it ample justice, with a dram or so of Laphroaig when
it's particularly bad.

Today it has been raining for about seven hours non-stop, quite heavily
at times. The other side of the valley is invisible and the rivers are
in spate again. It is truly foul and I haven't brought enough woollies!
