Another 15 hours or so and 2009 will be no more than a memory. All in all, it has been a good year, with lots of little trips to France and the Belgian Ardennes, meeting up with old and new friends, cooking and eating great meals … and starting up this blog last May.
Tonight and tomorrow we will be toasting to the New Year with Champagne. When we buy our Champagne we take into account three criteria: the brand, the price and … the colour or design of the small metal cap on top of the cork. This last criterion may seem a bit unusual, but there is a very specific reason for it. I’ll tell you all about it in the New Year.
In the meantime, I wish you a very pleasant New Year’s Eve and a fabulous 2010! Let those corks pop!
See you in January!

Happy new year, Martine Ladybug. Maybe we will meet in person in 2010....
You would swoon if you saw what my dear French husband has stocked for tonight's festivities!
Here's to all things French and heavenly.
Meilleurs voeux et Bonne Année!
Dedene, Please don't throw the metal caps in the dustbin ...Please, please, please!!! In a few days you will know why! Thanks in advance and have a great evening and an excellent start of the New year. Best Wishes, Martine
Leon and Sue, It's a date ... I've already had a look at the TGV trains time schedule for April! Martine
Carolyn, Let's keep in touch to see if we can match our agendas. It would be great to meet you in the flesh! Best Wishes for 2010! Martine

I didn't have Champagne last night but a Crémant de Bourgogne and I am curious to see if the metal cap applies also.
Mes meilleurs voeux pour le nouvel An. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de voyages en plus de la santé, prospérité et bonheur:-)
The Beaver, Thank you for your kind wishes. Je vous souhaite également une très bonne année, une bonne santé et beaucoup de bonheur!
As far as the Crémant cap is concerned ... if it's a plain metal one, it is not exceptional. However, if it has a name or design on it ... would you please be so kind not to throw it away? Thank you so much in advance. Martine
