Vendange Samonac 1979 (Château Haut-Castenet, Côtes-de-Bourg, Bordeaux); picking figs outside our sleeping quarters.

Vendange Samonac 1979 (Château Haut-Castenet, Côtes-de-Bourg, Bordeaux); picking figs outside our sleeping quarters.
I do remember the names of the two girls (Claudette and Pauline) and the dog is of course still La Truffe, but the kid... no.
A wonderful time here doing the grape harvest.
These buildings and trees are all gone and now under vine, according to the map.
From a scanned slide.

True, Jean! Many thanks!
Mind you, I always had fig trees in my London gardens and usually got a lot in July and August.

What a lovely insight to how it was in those times. I've got several fig trees in my garden, but it's never warm enough for them to be edible, one minute they're green, then they drop onto the ground and go black or get squashed!!!!

Thank you Jenny!
Maybe you have the wrong variety? I only failed in two of the direst summers, weatherwise.

Thank you, Rosa. It seems like yesterday! And 3 weeks later I was in London and starting my first serious job in Financial Services. Talk about a shock to the system!
