High drama in Vallée de Vauvelle on Tuesday afternoon.

A lovely brisk walk to start the day followed by a quick Instagram Live to introduce the first of the 6 bottles in the festive tasting case.

First things first, a lovely long walk through the vineyards this sunny Sunday morning.

There’s a chill in the air this morning and a low damp mist hanging in the air that will lift as the day goes on to reveal the winter sun.

This is a delicious way to prepare mussels. Our fellow foodie friends John & Sheila first prepared them which inspired me to have a go this week.

Sunday. A day of rest and relaxation. At least that’s what is should be. We do try to have some kind of routine.

So, today’s the day my friends in the US. Election day. I hope for two things. Firstly, that people will go out and vote.

We’re off! Harvest has started in the Loire and the grapes are coming in. The earliest harvest in living memory for many.

It’s been a hot week in the Loire with us chasing the shade during the day and eating inside until the sun goes down.

Teint is a French word and it means tint, dye, stain. A cépage teinturier is a grape variety that stains, dyes or tints. So what makes that different?

I made this for supper last night and it was so easy and so tasty I thought I’d share the recipe with you. My first blog for you, my subscribers.

And so my friends, today marks the last day of blogging daily. I’ve blogged now for 3 months exactly to the day and so it seems fitting to choose this day.
