vines and capes

I often forget I live in Middle Earth until an Easter drive along a deserted road with a view so expansive, epic, and heartbreaking that you forget to breathe. There were peppermint seas hung with curtains of clouds, damp vines with drooping yellow leaves, woolly sheep grazing in green paddocks dotted with decrepit wooden outbuildings, and immense, towering slabs of rock the colour of soot. I stumbled, giggling, down a pitch black country road on the way to dinner, a torch my only defence against the gloom. I think you should come visit. You'll like it here. We'll ride bikes with baskets at the front, drink free vino at wine tastings, play hide and seek in  the vines, inspect the diggers for sale at Ngawi, and climb 250 steps to a candy striped lighthouse.

P.S. We're in Martinborough and Cape Palliser
