… has started growing again! M and I recently did a bit of a tour through one of the very dry, almost desert-like valleys just to the south of us where some very excellent Bordeaux-style blends and single varietals are produced. The Similkameen Valley has a couple of our favourite wineries.

Happy Saturday.
A footpath …
