The morning after

And the scent of spring in the air to revive us after a late and very enjoyable night, as always with our group of friends here, eating and drinking into the small hours, talking and laughing about everything in life and death, politicians and politics, critically of course, food and wine, including tasting the excellent and still improving 2011 wine we helped pick the grapes for, village gossip, anti-militarism, organic local agriculture versus the 'poison' sold by globalised big business, a lot of jokes and much, much more.
