Forget-me-nots and lords-and-ladies

$Friend has been here for a week, doing a huge amount of clearing and carpentry and varnishing of floors and putting up of roof insulation, with a little plumbing on the side. Excellent chap. He's thinking of going into business as a handyman, and I can recommend him.

Today I drove him to Bordeaux airport. The weather is lovely, all warmed up again. Just before he arrived it was warm, the day he leaves it's decidedly spring, and the week in between was cold and nasty. Argh!

In fact, spring arrived so suddenly that the wildflowers came out all at once. The vineyards which had been mostly brown in the morning were decorated with blue and yellow carpets of myosotis and various other blooms, only three hours later.
