Well, here’s an unusual cheese for you. Lou Claousou – a raw sheep’s milk cheese from the Occitanie region in the south of France.

We had a wander around the vineyards in Noizay, Vernou sur Brenne and Chancay yesterday. Three villages within the Vouvray appellation.

A new cheese to us this week. Vacherousse d’Argental – a rich, smooth and creamy cow’s milk cheese from the Lyon area of France.

Staring out of the window I can see her standing there. Huddled up with a look of confusion on her face. It’s been a week now.

High drama in Vallée de Vauvelle on Tuesday afternoon.

All systems go at Domaine Vincent Careme this morning. Le Clos 2019 is being bottled so I’m off to take some pics and capture the moment.

Today’s going to be an admin day. Income 2019 declaration on-line, updating the accounts, printing off official papers to sign. What joy!

The bad news this morning is that I can’t bend down far enough to put my socks on. The good news is – I don’t have a headache. Hooray!

Soft persistent rain woke me up this morning. That and the blackbird singing, perched in his usual spot on the aerial of our neighour’s house.
