Bonne Anne...




Bonne Anne...





Had a great Xmas week with brother Stephen and family.... lots of good food wine and country jaunts. Images from very cold day at Pont De Gard and St Remy De Provence where Vincent was interned for a year and churned out 150 paintings! Leaving early Tuesday for five days in Florence and then meeting friends for a week in Venice then some snow time in Chamonix!

Amour Paris....





Fantastic long weekend in Paris with friends. Highlight was a very extensive retrospective of Basquiat paintings from the 80's and some quality dining experiences. Cold now and snow throughout country.... awaiting a flurry down south and hopeful for Xmas. Brother Stephen and family here for a week of festive indulgence and village life on Xmas eve .... Rose in Corsica again this weekend to do final blend for the Vermentino wine and is also looking at doing a Rosé in Provence. Planning departure for Italy January 4.
