Last night I picked the first of the figs from our vineyards - Chateau Mal Au Dos. In the past we've picked wild figs when out walking the dogs and they've been the big black droopy ones, but now we have our own - and they're quite different. The green ones are called Les Blanches here and have a honey coloured centre & taste toffee-ish. The little purple ones are divine - luscious red on the inside and tasting of jam and wine and roses. This morning they're on the breakfast table.

NEWSFLASH!!

Having had to refuse lots of people who wanted to come to stay at the beginning of September because we were full, last night we had a cancellation. So now we have a double room available from 2-10 September. It's the orange bedroom with a huge bed and ensuite shower room.

That period is likely to be right over our grape harvest so should be extremely interesting (if slightly hair-raising for Ali & I). If you're up for a late break do let us know sharpish. Just think, you could be enjoying a few more days of bright sunshine, bathing in the crystal clear pool and tasting luscious figs you could pick yourself. How about it? It's going to be 30 degrees today. Mmmm!
