Today we decided to take a short drive to the other side of the Rhone to see if we could find the B&B that Vivian our tomato lady owns. It was a pretty drive over many plane tree lined roads and through the town of Pont St. Esprit, perched on he edge of the Rhone River.
Once she has left the country, she will rent this entire property for 10 people with pool and AC. We succeeded in finding her place, The Mas de Olivette, up in the hills on the edge of St. Julien de Peyrolas, a village at the gateway to the Ardeche Gorge.
As it turns out, Cairanne is not like Velansole, which is the heart of lavender country, but we have really enjoyed the numerous brilliant fields blooming in the area, many of them brand new and I would say that it is just about harvest time.
The previous shot is a photo of Cairanne from 4 km away taken on the outskirts of St. Cecile les Vignes. Once back at Chez Pigeon, we had a terrace lunch and noticed these green beetles swarming the olive trees on the property - they were not of the Liverpoolian variety - haha. The trees are not blooming and the fruit is just barely formed, but they sure like something on the trees.
Even though we are thousands of kilometres away, I would like to share some news from home. This is a photo of my grand daughter Ella, graduating from grade 6. She was chosen to give the grad speech on behalf of her classmates. Congrats Ella! We are SO proud!!!
