Across the Layon
Across the Layon: early autumn coloursSpent the morning sorting out photos including these taken in the Coteaux du Layon in October 2005 plus one further north in the Lebreton's Croix de la Mission at Saint-Jean-de-Mauvrets.
Pickers' cars and vansThe weather was magnificent and I had never seen producers so relaxed during the harvest able to take their time and pick the fruit just when they wanted.
