A solitary walk in the vineyards...

Today I walked alone,no Henry and Twigs as they are both struggling with the cold and their arthritis ....it seemed strange without the company of dogs, but this morning I decided to get out there whilst the sun shone. It was glorious and I had the vineyards all to myself.
The mountain was severely burnt in the summer and you can see the line of just how close it got to the manor house and as its thatched there was a great fear it would burn to the ground. Built in 1685 and full of antiques and heirlooms a tragedy was averted.
And we've had soft falling rain all day...perfect for regeneration .
