Late autumn, Les Bassacs
We are closing the houses up for the winter, packing away all the paraphernalia that gets us through the summer. Someone left me a beautiful miniature sculpture in one of the bedrooms.
Out in the hedgerows the cognassier (quince trees) are heavily burdened with their fruit and people are foraging for quinces, persimmons and sloes. We are preparing for a sloe gin soaked Christmas.
We have already had a tremendous autumn storm accompanied by a ferocious wind that uprooted many of the pines in the woods beyond Les Bassacs and deposited some bright, white fresh snow atop Mont Ventoux. There is talk of a harsh winter to come!
Meanwhile, we are struggling to nail down the dates for the 2013 season. It is slowly coming together and we will post news of the programme when it is all confirmed.
