A day off

We decided we needed a change from decorating today, so we packed up a couple of small quiches and some water and set out on a walk through the vineyards and across the fields. It was warm when the sun shone, but the north westerly wind was very chilly as it blew across the valley and caught our faces.

The vineyards had all been carefully tended and the soil had been cleared of weeds, apart from the occasional dandelion, which seem to be everywhere this year. It’s now a waiting game for the vignerons to understand how much of their crop they have lost to the harsh frosts we saw in April. We believe it to be quite devastating. We will see over the coming weeks as the vines continue to grow and are continued to be cared for.
