Going Abroad for Lunch



On Saturday, Lucy and I went with Vlasta for lunch, To Slovenia! It was a cold day, but we ate at a lovely restaurant called Ruj (pronounced roo-ie) which is a type of plant that turns red in the autumn. You can just about see it in the back of this picture of Lucy and I at lunch. We are drinking a sparkling red wine made of the Terano grape that is prevalant in the Karst region of Slovenia. It is yummy - but a bit heavy for lunch time and we both struggled to stay awake as Vlasta drove us onto Stanjel - a UNESCO protected village, and Lipica - where we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the horses before they disappeared for their tea!
