Indoor pool at Reales Alcazar de Seville, Spain
- Last #daffodils of spring. #flowers #mayweatherLast #daffodils of the season. A frost and snow in May (?!?) withered most of the flowers. Rather than lose the rest, I cut a few to enjoy inside. #spring #flowersThanks for all the birthday wishes! Grateful I can celebrate inside a warm shelter, with a stocked pantry and good company. Many people around the world don’t have these basic comforts so rather than lament what wasn’t, I will embrace what is. For the wine, it’s bubbles, natch. A beautiful perpetual reserve style from Moussé whom I interviewed for @wineenthusiast “It’s rare for a grower to omit a vintage, which makes the cuvée a very accurate reflection of the previous vintages, both good and bad,” said Moussé. An apropos sentiment in a birthday year that will feel akin to a lost vintage. #Champagne article link in bio. https://www.winemag.com/2019/12/05/new-champagne-try-perpetual-reserve/ #champagneSince I can’t travel, please enjoy the baking phase of my Instagram feed. #stayhome #boule #bread #breadmaking #travelbinders
