View on the vines

It was such a gorgeous morning that we headed up to the point de vue with a flask of coffee to enjoy the view. It makes for such a beautiful little walk.

From the track on the other side of the valley you can see the house and the swimming pool at the top of the hill. The white stone is all looking stunning against the vivid greens of spring. And oh look, I spy a new shed!

The vineyards are starting to flourish again. Some vignerons have chosen to replace some vines that they had either lost over winter, or were just not performing so well. It will be at least three years before they produce useable fruit.

I love to see the tiny little bunches of grapes starting to form. Fingers crossed for a strong year.
