What a difference a week and some nice weather makes


The sun keeps shining but the rains don't come. Not much in the way of April showers, and now few in May so far as well. Lots of sun. But the vines are thriving, all except the Albarino.  The Pinot Noir are really encouraging. 


The vine in the polytunnel, Vanessa, is also doing well. Growing in leaps and bounds across the polytunnel support. 


The orchard is in full bloom, with cherries and pears already forming, and apples blooming profusely. I wonder if the size of the bloom is proportional to the size of the fruit. 













I can't wait for all the stuff in the polytunnel to reach maturity. Peaches, avocado, Rockit apple, lemon, orange, kiwi berry, passion fruit and more. The Outdoor kiwis 'Jenny' are going out this week. It makes me so happy. 

Today was the first day in a long time that I had no obligations. It felt like a respite, a holiday from responsibility. Thank you. I appreciate it.
