Travel Pics

last weekend on the slopes

Just a few dodgy pics from my phone from last weekend in Mürren.
PS Did I mention that I shook hands with the legend that is (Sir) Steve Redgrave on the finish-line at this race(?) Kudos for leaving the ‘Sir’ off his name on the race bib. He beat me by 40 seconds – over 16 minutes – bugger!

1st ski weekend

Day 1 was pretty awful – less than 20m visibility – when you can’t tell up from down; that makes me nauseous, so I gave up. Saturday and Sunday, however, were picture perfect – if a tad cold. There was even some wine, but more of that tomorrow I think…

misty côte d’or…

When I left home on Wednesday, very early on Wednesday, the forecast promised a backdrop of sun and blue sky for the rest of the week – it seems with the same ‘hit-rate’ as we enjoyed over the harvest. Mist, mist and mist – not forgetting the faint rain – hardly that photogenic.

On Friday it seemed more interesting to walk up into the woods above Corton than the vines. On some of the pics you might get a feel for the thicket of box-trees and oak, all covered in moss, only the wild boar pass through without problem, that-said the whole of the Bois du Corton is cris-crossed with pathways. The ground has many outcrops of flat limestone – that’s because the soil is so thin – but here are the lungs and circulatory system for the whole of the hillside…

lakes and mountains…

The last days of our indian summer are forecast so what better than to show some of our 2011 vendanges team a bit of Switzerland(?) Lake Thun and the Berner Oberland. There were also two nights of quality control checks on a number of bottles – more about those tomorrow
Ciao!
