May 6, 2013 - Vineyards

[Sundae]

I tried to find a photo of the only vineyard I've seen more than once.
Okay, I was actually looking for other photos, but it seemed like synchronicity.
It was taken in 1987 on a disposable camera. Not great quality.

But I thought it was dead romantic because it was just abandoned. It was when I spent some time at a school in France, and although I stayed in quasi-suburbia, the hillside village just 15 minutes walk away was stone-built and just breathing in made you feel French (unlike the school I went to, where I was over-dressed and the unwelcome recipient of young, male, French hormones.)

I walked past the ex-vineyard every day and was amazed that such a large space of fertile ground in an inhabited area was still vacant.
We're like the Japanese - small island, large population. We'll build anywhere that's big enough for a mouse to fart in.

Anyway I couldn't find the photo.
So ignore the above
