Then the Rasteau walk. Lovely banks of wild flowers all the way. And pine cones that puffed out clouds of yellow pollen if you tap them.
The buds are bursting now and the vines are tinged with pale green.
But it has certainly been very wet - more paddyfield than vineyard.
The local kite lolloped over and decided we weren’t ready to eat yet so floated away to Roaix. But a wagtail posed prettily for his portrait.
A late snack on the terrace in warm sun - finally!
