My grandmother told me yesterday that the biggest risk for the vine, is the wind that comes from the East. It’s really rare in our country side, but sometimes, it happens. She told me that because of the big rain period that received some villages near Reims.
And today, just after the work, we saw the wind turning, and coming from Saint Thierry … from the East. The wind came first with Hail, that didn’t causes damage in our vineyard … It was a real surprise, because at home, we were imagine the worst situation for the plants.
After a 30 minutes period of hail and water, then came the sun. So I decided to take my car in order to see the damages in our vines. Good surprise, no troubles for the plant. And suddenly, the sky begins to fall in a very big rage. From its nice blue colors, with some grey notes on the back, he turned dark black. The lightning came in less than 1 minute, and flashed the sky, like if someone were turning the lights on and off.
I took some pictures of this evil period, and succeed to take some pictures of the lightings. Just near the church of our village, Merfy.
