I am sorry about he absence but I got distracted! I started out writing this blog to highlight some of the great, good and indifferent wines that were available in the U.K. supermarkets and then I went to France en-vacance; Normandy to be precise, but it meant that I could take my car and top up the “cellar” from their supermarkets instead. There was no point writing about the wines that I got from there because you couldn’t get them here (very easily) – I am afraid that I got out of the habit after we had (because I have help) got through those wines. I got distracted with other things too, and I shall probably tell you about them on another occasion, but in the mean time, I hope that you will forgive me.
