2012 began with us blown south down the M6 on Tuesday. Lots of work to catch up. Wed, Thurs, Fri so just scribble scribble - at home to avoid interruption. Very quiet; Barbara out at first light, all wrapped up, electric pruners charged, to spend her mornings freezing in Wyfold vineyard.
So belated Happy New Year …
... but not much news just yet. Just that Jancis R (Goddess of Wine) tweeted that Joe Gargery, blacksmith in Great Expectations reminded her of me. So flattered … but better send her a more recent photo.
As we had such good Christmas sales I was worried the Jan Sale might be down, but no, dead on target, thankfully.
Am also busy learning my lines and little dance for the Laithwaites Wine Christmas 'Pantowine' later this week, Reading Town Hall. I am to be the Fairy Godmother in 'Vinderella'. Currently New Aquitaine House is plastered with posters showing me in a frock. The things you have to do, eh? I want to be a serious wine merchant. But it’s Joe Gargery in drag.
Should I attach the poster? I prob look smarter in that than I will on the night.
