PROVENCE & LONDON

The last few days were wonderful weather, still hot but with the autumn colours starting.

a spotted horse and sheep on the lane to our house




Our young olive grove produced four bottles of excellent olive oil last year and we are hoping for an even better harvest this year................
  Our oil pressed at the mill in Salerne 


the olive grove on the right of the drive up to the house.

Like so many before us we ended up with the car towed off the motorway and staying the night in Vienne just south of Lyon on the Rhone. 



NEVER PUT PETROL IN A DIESEL !!!!!

The most wonderful Roman Temple of Augustus and Livia

we lunched in the sun  and visited the XII-XV  century Cathedral of St Maurice




The quality of this Empire period marble relief is incredible.............back to London where there was a photoshoot organised in the shop for Charles. Dave Mallows was there with all the paraphernalia need to photograph lanterns............these were for Architectural Digest and the Charles Edwards web site. Normality is now back, VAT returns, updating the shop web site, uploading new items to 1st Dibs and of course blogging...................................
