Greetings all! I've been out of the loop for a while due to Christmas rush
followed by New Year's red tape, too many traditional French holiday
dinners, and our first visitors from the US. Emily and I got invited to the
family dinner parties of several of our new friends here in Herbignac, and
we've now experienced just what they mean by "traditional French holiday
meal"... 4+ straight hours of eating and wine and cheese and chocolate and
wine and port and wine that leaves one immobile for days. We did have a
great time with our visiting friends (it was their first trip to France and
our first experience of having company over) and it was nice to take our
first few days off in a couple of years. BUT, it's time to go back to work,
and IIRC I haven't posted any notices on ASP in a good while, even though
we've added a number of new pipes to our site. There are new mortas, a
bunch of new Ligne Bretagnes (including a very recent posting of 5 nice
straight apples), and even a couple of Talbert Briars, both of which are
already sold but might be fun to see. One of them, on the Smooths page of
the catalog, is our first-ever Grade 5 smooth pipe, which is as high as our
grading goes except for the quite-different M grades and Halloween pieces.
Thanks for your time, and a (delayed) Happy New Year to all!
