Today Peter went shopping for new wine glasses for the campervan. Of the old six wine glasses, five (!) have broken. Not during a wild party, if anyone thought so, but in almost all cases when we washed and dried them. The glass has simply come off the base.

It was not only the wine that was good when we organised a wine tasting at home. The food was also very successful! We've never cooked deer before, but it wasn't that difficult and turned out fantastic.
