Love these things
sun flowers 2.jpg
Today late afternoon,I love these things , call me a soft git but I always reckon they are like women. When the sun is out all is well with the world and they turn their faces to the sun. When it is dull and grey they sulk and drop their heads in disgust. Today it was lovely riding through the back roads and through the vine yards, lots of fruit on the vines now and come September and the vendange begins there will be a bottle or two with my name on it somewhere.They have also been cutting a lot of the lavander fields as well this last week or two the scent is amazing, very relaxing.

Re: Love these things
Yes Des, cold but nice I am still wearing shorts even though down to 12 yesterday. Good to feel the sun on your back as with a clear sky that is what we are getting just now, but do so need some rain, and lots of it.


Happy daze John in Oz.
