Autumn arrival



Autumn arrived this week and with it the season for wine making, making marmelades, etc.
So that's what we did the last few days.

Hand-picking of the chardonnay and viognier grapes.








Making jam and marmelade of apples and pink tomatoes.



And others are to come in the near future (pastèque).




The first rainbow - and what a beauty : a double one.




And of course a new dish.
