New growth on the vine

The neighbours' vine is taking off again. We have free access to the grapes but they are an unusual Italian variety which I am not so keen on. It has been good to have a quieter day today. My back felt much better last night but is sore again today. Think it could be a pinched nerve but nothing too serious. I went down to buy fish at the market and saw Patrique handing over to the new fishmonger who has bought his business. I went to a friends' house to check up that all was well as they are away and walked onto the supermarket where I met one of the new bellringers. We walked back up along the river and had a good chat. The tower captain is away so it falls to me to lead the proceedings this afternoon.
