This in fact is a piece of a blog entry of mine from September 2008.
I am reminded of it everytime I look into M. Sanquery’s Winery from the terrace.
And this is the Castor Oil Plant.
(a small explanation is necessary)
My sister D was staying with us the first easter we were here when Sile spotted a large castor oil plant growing up the wall in front of the winery which is just in front of the house.
Aha! says Sile lookijg at the plant. “That’s a castor oil plant”
“Is it ?” says sister D, looking at the winery “I thought it was a wine making place”
Since then M. Sanquery’s wine making area has been known as “The Castor Oil Plant”
