Go fish

I made the early morning bread run into Bar-sur-Seine this morning. Surprisingly, for this time of year, everywhere is looking deeply lush. The rain shower yesterday had added to the dampness of the earth and vegetation, and the warmth of the rising sun this morning has created a very beautiful, low mist across the vineyards of Celles-sur-Ource.

It really is no chore waking early and driving through the countryside with such gorgeous views and an abundance of wildlife. On my little trip I saw a hare bounding across the road into the vineyards, a lonesome deer nibbling an early breakfast, a rabbit who looked like he’d nibbled a few too many early breakfasts, and a heron looking stately whilst perusing the land, and no doubt thinking about where to go fishing today.
