Incinerator

We had our first french lesson of the year yesterday, which was really enjoyable. We revisited where we’d left off early in December, and although we had done some revision before the lesson you never feel you’ve done enough, so it was good to go through, checking to see what we’d remembered.

After class the sun was shining bright, so we headed out for some fresh air, to clear our heads a little and take a walk in what we thought would be some early 2025 warmth. It was quite deceiving, as the air was very chilly as we headed up to the point du vue. On the way, we noticed one of the vignerons quietly picking up the clippings from the vines and burning them in her mobile incinerator.

It is a bit of a back breaking task, but one that is done diligently, so as not to leave the old cuttings to rot and damage the vines.
