Good wine country, Ken.. Get stuck in.
Sorry to hear about your cool temperatures.
It's 34 + here, northwest of Plascencia.
Of to the village bar, soon and hopefully a skinny dip in the natural swimming pool, on the way back.
Have fun.

Also, one of our favourite spots, in fact we’re about to crack a bottle of Côte de Blake with our evening meal.

First noticed the place 12 years ago when we arrived by ferry from Lamarque in Medoc, there were dozens of vans all over the area below the citadel. The local council have now cut the van space drastically. We now stay up the hill by the back entrance to the citadel, it’s free.

If short of water, there’s a tap at the side of the club boathouse going towards the ferry. April is a good time to visit especially for the mind blowing array of asparagus for sale at the Saturday market.
