So much to tell you,
So much to show you.
It's difficult to know where to begin.
My cold at last is on the way out,
but my head's still a bit woolly
(nothing new there then!).
As can be seen that I didn't check where these last few photos were positioning themselves!
So as most of the other photos are all on the other computer,
despite Mike trying to write them onto disc so that I could use them here.
(There is a problem with the disc writer).
I thought I would try and keep things simple
and just use photos from today.
returned from the UK
has been sunny and hot.
So for our lunchtime walk
with the Pups
we stayed very local
and took a walk around the allotments
which are a stones throw from the
house.
Everything is just so very fruitful
and rich.
We enjoyed the walk so much
that when we got back to the
house,
I collected the camera
and rewalked the route
just to get some pics.
and they have the feel of allotments
back in the North East of England
where Mike originates from.
But these fruit and veg
are growing in amongst the vineyards!
We usually walk along the river and pass a number of these trees
both in the village itself
but also growing down by the river
again in more 'allotments'.
It seems a common thing here for people to pick the windfalls
up off the ground.
We've seen quite a few people now with bags
hunting on the ground underneath the trees.
The other evening some young boys with their father
were collecting something that looked like conkers.
But when we asked what they were collecting
it turned out they were chestnuts,
and they invited us to take some to try.
but it's always there.
On my way back to the house now.
A view of the vineyards up the hill behind the house.
One of my favorite flowers.
There's also some Sunflowers here too.
They are a very popular flower here and can be seen everywhere!
On my way back to the house now.
I had a photo of some peaches growing on a tree.
But I took that last week so it's on the other computer
and they've all been picked now.

I can't resist taking some photos of some of the window boxes
that I pass.
the camera came too.
We were still in our shorts as it was very warm.
Skirting the vineyards.
perched above a gateway to someones house.
in the vineyards,
this collared dove caught my eye.
I didn't get to take a proper picture of this one
as someone else was there.
I'll call back another day for one.
I'll call back another day for one.
I said I would take a photo for my niece.
A short while after that we turned round and retraced our steps.
Mike took one over the fence.
My sister was interested in what the horses looked like
when we chatted on the phone earlier.
She was also asking if my blog was up and running again.
She was also asking if my blog was up and running again.
So I said I would put these photos on so she could see them.
A short while after that we turned round and retraced our steps.
It nestles so prettily in the hillside
that I am always taking photos of it,
trying to capture it just right.
I haven't managed yet.
We have just come back from our nightime walk with the Pups
and the moon is on the other side of the valley
across the river.
Very bright it is.
A cross in the vineyards
on the slopes across the river.
So have you guessed where I am posting from?
Well the river I have refered to is the Mosel.
The country is Germany.
And I will share more with you another time,
soon.
