A next-door neighbour has a small vineyard and Saturday was the day of the annual &#8216;vendange&#8217; (grape picking). He&#8217;s interested in my drones (he introduced me to another neighbour a short distance away, Bernard from Belgium, who also flies quadcopters) and asked if I&#8217;d like to take a few shots on the day. In fact I went even better and did a complete video showing the day from beginning to end. I was super-pleased with it but unfortunately I can&#8217;t post it here on My Trike as it shows lots of local people and neighbours &#8211; about 50 turned up to give a hand of which 30 joined in a superb meal afterwards &#8211; and it would not be right to offend their privacy. <\/p>\n<p>After the grape-picking was over &#8211; it only took until mid-day &#8211; we all sat down for an &#8216;apero&#8217; followed by the most hearty French meal that I&#8217;ve ever enjoyed that started at about 12.30 pm and just went on and on. I left at about 5.30 pm and more than half were still there. I lost count of the courses. We started with soup then had shrimps, whelks, wild boar with haricots verts, cheese &#8211; they just kept coming. Every time my glass emptied it was magically full again with last-year&#8217;s vintage red wine, as did it also when we got onto the plum brandy at the end of the meal. I felt highly privileged to be invited and being regarded by the locals as &#8216;one of them&#8217; is a great feeling.<\/p>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t flown since the one flight I did in the Xair after bringing it over from the UK. I keep being distracted by other things and I&#8217;d hoped to get a couple of flights in this coming week. The weather is changing, though, and although it&#8217;s now becoming cooler, which will be a good thing, it looks as though it could also be wet for the next few days. I&#8217;ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have been dealing with a few other things in recent weeks so have not been posting much on My Trike.
