Finally located the USB cable for the camera.
The first photo shows the new "Wine Buff" premises in St. Emilion. (the house with the open shutters and courtyard)
When preparing the room for painting we noticed dampness on the wall leading into the medieval grain silo. Underneath the cement based plaster we discovered the original stone walls.
The third photo on this post is of the medieval grain silo. The silo was manually chiseled out of the famous St. Emilion limestone back in the middle ages. It is incredibly spectacular and really has to be experienced to be properly appreciated; my level of photography certainly does not do this magnificent area justice!
Our stone mason will eventually spend a week in there restoring the silo to it's former glory. The area is roughly 40 sq. meters and will entertain more than a few "Wine Buff" tastings over the coming years. My son, Ciaran, and I, are heading back into St. Emilion now to pull up the carpet throughout the house. More photos on the way this evening!
cheers, Paddy
