What a great evening at Soumensac. Local producers serving their food and the vignerons supplying their wines on a lovely warm Sunday evening, just 4km from the Chapel.

Although we're 100kms east of the wildfires near Bordeaux, when the wind is in our direction we suffer from the smoke. This is today.

We're in no danger, partly because the vegetation between us and Bordeaux is different to the pine forests on the coast, but it's so sad to hear of lives being lost, along with properties, businesses and crops.

We're due our fourth heatwave of the year this week, so just hoping the brave people fighting these fires can manage to get them under control.

An orange tailed digger wasp carrying off its dinner, a bush cricket.
These wasps are pretty harmless to humans, unless aggravated.
