Just about everything in one day!

Soaking rain when I arrived at AF Gros this morning, only fading a little by late morning when I visited one of the most impressive estates in Burgundy – maybe for the last time with Sylvain Pitiot – but he lives in Beaune, so maybe there’s a chance to keep in touch.

By about 15h00, the sun was finally breaking through – the colour of Autumn is mainly gone now, but the misty scenes of Autumn are fine replacements. With about 14°C this afternoon it’s hard to believe that this time last year it was -°C with snow on the ground – that reminds me – it’s probably time to swap to my winter tyres!!!

Climate change preparation?
