I want to tell you about the moment I decided to upend my life and move to the south of France, because, reader, I hope you’ll find it instructive. It was a holiday evening in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a beautiful little peninsula that juts into the Mediterranean between Nice and Monaco, and my husband and I were sitting with a bottle of pale pink rosé at the lighthouse, watching the sun go down. (Sounds dreadful, I know).

London, we agreed, right there and then, was over. That was a decade ago. We made our home in Nice and two French-born, Anglo/Irish bébés later, we’re still here. The lesson? The use of rosé in decision-making should be exercised with extreme caution.
