Escape from the 'Big Smoke'* today
Grape-picking foray Vossem way!
Drove with friend down narrow lane
On cobbles freshly splashed with rain.
Majestic wrought-iron gates thrown wide
Higgledy-piggledy grapes espied!
Top window view of wizened trunks;
Once kitchen garden run by monks.
Of this “12 Apostles” site – faint trace
But impressive brick wall still in place.
The house, compact, still boasts three floors
And garden chairs invite outdoors!
My mind imagines it at morning.
‘Cos on arrival, dusk was falling
But luscious grapes were picked and packed;
Perhaps in sunshine I’ll be back!
