As
we watch Cabrerets is waking from its winters sleep, spring has sprung, every
day new growth can be seen on the trees, only a week ago we could see the
homes across the river but now they are completely obscured by fresh leaves, the
sun filters through scattering tiny dots of light across the water. Our rose
bush in the courtyard has overnight produced an abundance of new buds, which
will be in full bloom within the week.
Driving through the countryside you see farmers in almost every field,
ploughing the soil and planting everything from sunflowers to
strawberries.
Wildflowers
dot the roadside, poppies blazing red amongst the long green grass, lilies line every brick wall, wisteria cascading down buildings and over old crumbling rock walls, buttercups with heads turned towards the sun, bluebells hidden deep within the undergrowth, hollyhocks growing tall and strong paint the landscape with colour.
It
is a joy to have the time to actually notice the season change.
