The day started as every recent Thursday has - with a trip up the valley to Nyons for their market. This was Tim & Di's first Nyons market, which was actually significantly smaller then last week. I guess a lot of the vendors have already given it up for the season. The goal today was to obtain both lunch and dinner items , since the last of our guests, the Krambergers were expected to arrive.
With chicken, lamb, potatoes and pizza in tow, we headed back to Cairanne.
Jackie & Tony arrived pretty much on schedule and we all sat on the northern terrace, avoiding the hot sun that is apparently here for a few more days at least.
Mid afternoon, we walked down to the Coop to do a tasting and then over to the Belvedere to continue. With wines and another baguette, we trudged our way back up the hill. It's interesting that we always set out to walk about town, but the walk back to the house is always significantly more than we bargained for. What are these slopes anyway? 12%? 15%? Worse?
After another obligatory slow time, we had the market goodies and then only Tim, Di, Dawn & I finished the night with cards.
