I've been slack I know...

What can I say, I'm sorry. We've been busy and we are busy. The new vines are in the ground and watered and treated and one parcel is even weeded. The other two still need weeding but we are finding we can only do a row or so before our backs give in.

Round two of paperwork complications started this morning with the people who give us the grant finding yet more problems with our paperwork!

We've also discovered today that we have cicadelle in some or our vines which we have always thought as being fairly catastrophic but JL says he has it also and he barely batted an eyelid. Hmm confused, very!

We've just spent two hours or so standing around admiring our new harvest machine whilst the boys give it a test drive. What can I say, it's big and yellow and seems to work!

Here are a few random September pictures:
