This morning Steve and I went and did our favourite run here
in Beaune in Burgundy .
The route takes us out into the vineyards and right up to a pretty spot where
all you can see, miles and miles of grapes. Oh and we had to jump a three foot adder that for fortunately a little sleepy with the cold weather. Photos here as evidence of the beauty. People working out in the
vines are all very friendly and wave and shout greetings. It is so beautiful. We ran down the other side of the rise over
into the next wine village
of Pommard . There are so
many of these ancient villages. We have been coming here for probably thirty
years and still find new gems every visit. Its cold here today though and we
both wore a light jacket. The forecast is to be twenty degrees warmer by the
weekend.
Afterwards we did a little shopping for our Gite. We have
been coming here to the same place for so long that the people who own the property
take their own vacation and leave us alone here. The grounds are about two
thirds of an acre with a small house that was once I would think the staff
house for the large house that the owner has been restoring for at least twenty
years. We stay in the converted barn on the other side of the garden. It has high
walls and electronic gates the garden backs on to the vineyards. Sadly one of us has to work whilst we are here. Luckily its not me!
