les vendanges

Bonjour tout le monde,

I'd like to write the whole thing in french, but I'm afraid it will be full of mistakes, so for the french, you got to learn english, and voor de vlamingen dit is de korte versie van het nederlands.
On a rainy friday we head 'way to early in the morning' for Bordeaux. Jacques is todays driver, a 4X4 is the car. When we wake up we are allready in 'le cognac', a nice region full of apples good liquor and especially sun.
By sunset we reach our destination, Chateau Deyrem Valentin.... A little castle in the Margaux.
After a good weekend of rest and getting to know the others, we get all our courage, and secateurkes together and head for the battlefield... day after day we pick grapes, take a nap in the grass, pick some more, throw some at white T-shirts and innocent faces, take another nap in the grass, get involved in most dangerous wars of grapes and end up every day sticky like a lekstok and happy to drink a cold beer IN THE EVENING SUN! Every day we eat and drink like real bourgondiërs, the food is excellent and there is plenty of it. To give you an impression of the kind of people we had to live up with we have posted a little video....
