The Vendange is in full swing and I am frantically painting and drawing this back-breaking work. I'm learning a little about this bibulous life : 1 kg of grapes makes a bottle of wine; each vendangeur picks about 750 kg of grapes a day between shin and thigh height. The red bins of grapes hoisted manually on to trailors and back of them weigh about 90 kg. The village is now smelling sweetly of fermenting grapes, a great year I'm told.
