BOLLINGER

Well, many of us like a little Bolly now and again, and I'm no exception, but I was surprised that such a high profile drink, comes from such a small town known as Ay. It's just south of Reims which is well known as Champagne city. As we were going past on the barge we happened to see the town plaque with all the twinning towns on it. I had a good look to see where it was twinned with. I was amazed to see that it is twinned with Newton Abbot which may not mean much to most of you but it was my home town in Devon where I grew up! I must admit I cannot see any connection or similarity between Bollinger and Newton Abbot. I was driving Soraya at the time and Geoff had to take over rather quickly as I turned for a second look to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Bollinger/Newton Abbot, no still can't see the connection!
