Rebecca's week 11th-18th August

Rebecca in search of her students

We have had beautiful weather this week, hot and sunny but with fresh evenings and mornings.  The fields are all cut giving light patches in the landscape which contrast with the deep green of the vineyards. 

Rebecca took her students to paint in the countryside above Lioux where the farmer had just completed what must be the world's longest stack of lavender stooks.  Apparently the smell was intoxicating.  David's photos give you a good sense of the scale of the farmer's harvest.

  1. How interesting to see the Falaise de Lioux at a later date in the summer (from early July) and see the changes in the fields and the colour. I bet those cicadas are still buzzing.
