lefranglais - I picked grapes around there for a few weeks in the summer in the early 70's. I can't remember the exact place but it was near a place called Angouleme. It took around 3 days to hitch from Paris. Good times, except that I ran out of food and money and nearly starved. They were cognac grapes - I remember that. You could only eat so many during the day - they were a bit sharp. There were two Irishmen working on the farm as well who were on their way to Spain. We slept in a barn and started working in the early morning mist around 7.00-8.00. Good memories.
Jo whoever he is.
