Bordeaux: the Finale -- Wine country, Châteaux, and untouched beauty...


Well, well, I have drawn this out, haven't I?! For this, I apologise; that was never my intention. In large part, life has conspired the last few months to leave me very little free time for writing, with a very hectic schedule of work and travels, and a To Do list that seems to grow exponentially. Yet even in those rare moments of freedom, I have not been able to put words to print as I would have liked. I fear I lack the required vocabulary to accurately paint the picture I wish to paint; I feel as though for three blissful days I drifted into a magical wonderland, so far removed from everyday life, and to bring to life this idyll through the black and white of type seems impossible. But on this I shall have to put forth my best effort and accept that it will, inevitably, fall short. I cannot delay any longer. (This is going to be a long one, so you may want to grab a cup of tea!)
