A different viewpoint

Although there was a light breeze, and the air was a little bit chilly, we decided to take a walk along to Landreville, the little village next to ours. I had brought a flask of coffee, which we enjoyed as we sat at the viewpoint overlooking the village. It was some very welcome quiet time, and simply beautiful.

The walk back took us along the line of trees that edge the vineyards, which are all dormant now, and look very lean. Most of the vines have been pruned back, so they are ready to sit out the winter.

As we returned, our village was looking still, although there were a couple of farmers working in their fields in the valley below. We’d been out for a couple of hours, and as the village came into sight we started looking forward to getting home lighting the fire and settling down for a relaxing evening.

This view is looking back towards Viviers-sur-Artaut with the point de vue in the distance.
