A Paris vignette

We have just been for a walk - and discovered the Musee de Vin - a wine museum set in the caves underneath Passy - originally a convent, and some of the archeology digs have discovered pottery from the Roman times - how amazing is that.    They have a wonderful collection of artefacts and tools, implements, casks and corkscrews and various displays showing the life cycle of wine;  and at the end of the tour, they offer you a glass of wine - we had a red from the south west area of France - a great start to the evening.

And this morning, walking to the market we passed the laundromat - 4 men standing outside waiting for their washing to finish, and all having a beer - and it was 10.00am in the morning!!!

Just seen the torch relay in London on BBC - and it was snowing!!!
