Cailla


Was at Micheal and Simones last night in their palace at Cailla.
The photo above is of their other palace, currently undergoing
construction; here are Annie and Pete being intrepid.

The place is quite astonishing - tiny village in the mountains,
stunning - the architectural skills of Micheal and Simone
remarkable . So is their cooking. Annie chipped in with chocolate
and banana pancakes for pud, perfect after the cod and celeriac,
carrot and finely sliced potato thing which followed the smoked
salmon salad. Oh and we had chateau neuf du papes with the
cheese, so decadent.... and a yummy Riesling with the fish and the
god-given blanquette with elderflower as an apero.

There is a site because they rent out sometimes - see

The captain arrived that day and was knackered, but very
pleased to be there. He has to deal with my vernissage tonight
--see you there!!
