Went to France to drink some Beaujolais Nouveau, mission successfully accomplished, with some beer, gin and whisky added in. Came back to England, the French came over and we did it all over again! Shot using a Ricoh CX3, no processing.

revenant Ô zose froggies and zeir piquette (= "paint stripper in French). Actually, this year's wasn't too bad, still good only for cooking, though.

Hair of the seadog, was it?

While Mlle. Michelle Jagger and the local bars have much to offer and pay for later, Boulogne is also home to Nausicaa, the centre national de la mer, a client of mine and a fascinating maritime museum (if you're planning on going back there when the bars are shut).
