There’s a little thing taking place in London right now, you may have heard of it – it’s called The Olympic Games.

I feel like this is ‘what I did over the weekend’ time on most of my posts at the moment, but I have been doing a lot and I might as well share photos of my explorations.

Bright the next morning we began our Saturday by leaving the rolling vineyard surrounding us and driving into the local farmers market and picking up some sweets for what would begin the festivities of wine tasting, toilet paper wedding dresses and loud music.

The conversations have flowed easily.

The ease of the company we're sharing is why this works.
