accommodation

We're in a cottage on a winery, Bettanays. It's very nice, quite large for two, very peaceful, no other people in sight, an occasional glimpse of a distant car.
It's also full of fancy mod cons. Press a pedal to open the bin, then it glides closed smoothly and silently. The toaster is button operated. Push a button and the bread glides down for toasting. Another button and the bread glides up so you can see how it's going then it glides back again. Simple, it works, it's fun. (We can still get smoke.)
There's a "pod" coffee machine. I created several cups of hot water before I gave up, now Deb makes fancy coffee for herself.
There's a washing machine -- I'm not even going to try.
There are no fly-wire doors! The whole place is air con. Which is very nice for temperature though a bit drying. I'll put up with dry skin :-) The cottage is comfortable and well located. Well located for isolation (our preference) and for proximity to the places we want to visit.
