Finally we have rain . Martha is asking why its not called a rain-brella.

Makes sense to me .

Not so much man vs bee but emma vs wasps.

As the vines are not covered we have gone from waiting for the perfect ripe stage (grapes are the only fruit which, when picked , does not continue to ripen) to half gone eaten by birds and wasps. Hopefully enough for at least one bottle .

Now for the unknown .. the bit between harvest and drinking .. wish me luck

After weeks of newer campers and motor homes , tonight we have two rather more classic vans here to stay .

Now we have Martha in full time school getting away ourselves can be really tricky . Luckily we had a space in the bookings and went to the Pyrenees to cool down. Went to Biarritz in the red car which was great fun . Happy holidays .

Our campsite remained open and our campers respected the site and left notes saying they had a tranquil night sleep and money in the honesty box. We are very grateful to them leaving the site as they found it and the lovely thank you notes .

It’s a hot week with temperatures 34 in the day and 25 overnight . Lots of tents here this week and lots of shade needed .
