A Cul de Sac

A cul de sac ending on a vineyard. And two benches. And don’t forget the table in between. What’s missing?

Look at the sign on the bench. It reads: Little neighborhood bench.

Now imagine neighbours sitting down, at the end of the day, with a bottle of wine and a few glasses between them, having a chinwag while the sun is setting behind them. Wouldn’t you love to join them?

Today’s novel is Das Brot der frühen Jahre, a novel by the German Nobel prize winner Heinrich Böll. The photo shows the bakery (now long gone) where we bought our bread when I was little.
