Halcyon day

Posted by LizzieBG in VinesSunshineHappinessChateaumalaudos

Yesterday was the first day this year that Ali and I found ourselves in our vineyards with no vital work to be done. All the pruning is finished, the fruit trees have been treated and pruned, the wild bits have been mildly tamed and everywhere is looking just gorgeous. OK, there are still about five square metres of the potager to weed, but there's no hurry.

 



So we took time to relax in the glorious sunshine at the top of the amphitheatre. Our stone seat there has a new name - The Lap of the Gods. We took sunbeds and squidgy cushions and flopped out under a blue blue sky and the only sounds were a zillion birds and the drone of the occasional small plane - and me snoring. Even Kit gave up her irritating guard-bark.

 

 

 



A halcyon day.

What a life. It relaxes me just watching you relax! Oh to feel warmth right now.

It's a wonderful life!

We really really enjoyed our short visit to the the chateau malaudos last week. Glad you two could catch some quiet rays up on the hill.

We captured a few pictures of last week's action:
