The farm is at zero-point-something degrees of longitude, which makes us just a little east of Greenwich. But we’re in France, so that puts us on Continental time despite us being under Britain. What this means is that the sun hits its zenith some time close to 1pm (2pm on daylight saving days) and the sun rises late in winter. So I get to see it a lot more often.

I’m still shocked that I’ve never seen that tree before and it’s right by our house?!
I’m shocked that you use a question mark and an exclamation mark together!!?!
What are those posts from?
They are posts from the vineyards. They hold up the wires that the vines run along. See http://wobbly.com/2010/11/21/workout-of-the-day-pulling-vine-posts-out-of-the-ground/
