Going nuts

Did you know that cashew nuts grow in shells like these? I didn’t! At least not until a very nice young chap gave me the lowdown on a whole array of locally grown fruits, vegetables and nuts at his roadside stall in St Lucia.

Just the one bottle?

Bordeaux, France, taken in September 2017.

This rather large bottle of wine caught my eye… I can’t imagine why. It seemed very apt to photograph a wine shop in Bordeaux, given Bordeaux is the major wine industry capital of the world.  Of course, I had to partake of a glass or two while I was there… it would be rude not to! Sadly my little carafe wasn’t as big as that bottle!
