Ok, so I haven’t posted for many a long month, but, dear blog, you have been in my thoughts! And dear blog readers (if there are any left), you have been in my thoughts too.
I have even taken the odd photo in the vain hope of uploading and keeping the blog up to date! So I shall start to pop the occasional item on here and see if I can get back into the swing of things! What can I say, I hope to see more of you in the near future….
One remarkable thing happened in my absence – the vine at the front of our humble west London abode produced an abundance of grapes! It wasn’t even a great summer, so should we ever have a hot few months, I’m preparing to move into wine production…

Love love love the grapevine! Good to see you back on here from wherever you have been. Worry not, I had to take 3 months out last year as I was too busy gardening…self employed. I used to live in Whitstable, Kent and had an outside grape growing there in the back garden. We had such hot Summers I made wine from it…white like yours. This sent me back there…ah all those memories. Now I live in Scotland…no chance. Growing season cut by 3 months I reckon. Go for it my friend…I think I read somewhere that there are quite a few folk growing grapes on a small scale within London and producing some interesting wines… Have fun and Welcome Back!

Thank you! I’m so impressed you actually made wine with your grapes! Good luck with the gardening in Scotland, I imagine there are times when that’s a challenge!

Thank you and yes it is often an extreme challenge, the weather being that bit colder and wetter than what I remember down south. Nowadays I make wine from fruit such as Elderberry…lots of it and it’s free! Good wishes to you… 🌈
