Last Year
Last year at this time, Cyndie and I were in Portugal enjoying the Rowcliffe family’s Forest Garden Estate. I have been returning there in my mind, frequently this September, to re-live the incredible experience we enjoyed. There are so many special moments and events that deserve noting, but what is on my mind right now is the glorious fresh juice we had, one time out of peaches, and later out of grapes.
Cyndie captured these images of Ian and me processing some grapes for juice. The taste of those fresh fruit juices remains unrivaled for me.

Relative Something 
Indeed, it seems like only yesterday and those times remain unrivaled, but I remain hopeful that ‘we’ can get together one day and take it to the next level. There are signs in both our lives that something powerfully sweet is in motion!

A return visit remains a strong desire that simmers in me, even as we plan our other similar adventures locally. Ian, make some fresh juice in honor of us out of this season’s bounty!
