Wine, fruit, knowledge and gratitude

Yesterday evening we attended the wine festival in town here in VnG. What a great way to spend the evening. This is a wonderful town to live in with so many festivals and events to keep us happy. It was brilliant to see people wandering from stall to stall carrying their wine glasses and testing wines along the way. It was all so well organised and everyone was behaving perfectly. I can't imagine this kind of thing happening in a high street in Sussex without a modicum of trouble or drunken bad behaviour.  Although by looking at this pic of us with Julie we do look a little over the limit ourselves.

I do have to admit that my drinking days are well behind me now and the four small glasses I had last night were more than I've had for months, and as a result I was a little delicate this morning, but well enough in control of my faculties to be able to conduct a coupe of classes without issue.

This afternoon I took a bit of sun in the garden before settling down to write a bit more in 'Take Two'. I am amazed that the writing was going quite slowly just a week or so ago, yet now the words are spewing forth and the story is rushing along, and still there are surprises for me as it develops. I so love the process, and am so grateful that I have my muse working through me.

Naturally the Camino is still in the forefront of my mind as the days whiz by and my trip to Oviedo rushes even closer. Today I stopped at some trees just down the road to pick  and eat some mulberries. If it hadn't been for Kees I would never have known what they were let alone dared to eat them, and they are so tasty and should not be missed. Not only is the Camino a great and spiritual walk (for me at least) but it has also brought me so much more knowledge, about the world around me and the world within me. Isn't it just so easy to see how much it forms part of me now and I give heartfelt thanks to all those involved in making it what it was /is. And if you're reading this that probably includes you. Thank you
