I came across a feature about this in a local newspaper and as I would have loved to have this service back in Ireland – I thought I’d share.

We were driving home from Menerbes and the sight of this beautiful golden full moon took my breath away. I tried to capture it to share with you but even though I have snapped a thousand or so photos they just don’t translate. Hope it’s as beautiful for you!
