Summer grapes are picked and ready to share….

These beautiful red grapes are finally ripened. We were gifted this vine, as a small stalk by a kind Italian neighbour who thought us ‘skippy’s’ could do with some fruit in our family backyard. His father brought it out on the ship when he first migrated during the 60’s. Whilst our neighbour has now passed on, his thoughtfulness is remembered each time we marvel at its abundance. It is his legacy for us. It’s leaves keep us cool and sheltered, and it’s changing with the seasons, keeps us conscious and connected to nature. Seen here with my large Dusk Bowl.
