it has been hard work for the last few days again, because it is soo cold and the snow makes everything harder.
It looks beautiful, but driving and generally doing the work is harder.
My son danny, (12) did not have to go to school on Thursdaay, so he was very happy. he had a friend around who walked from sedlescombe, the next village (about 1/2 hour walking distance).
They went sledging near us, on a loveley sloping field and had a wonderful time.
Its really good, because apart from that they only play on the computer the most stupid shooting game, --Battlefield---.I dont know how we parents put up with it.

Right, lots of office work, accounts etc. Also marketing, sending e-mails to potential customers....difficult.

I got labelling done for Farmers Markets and was pleaed when the snow melted a bit Friday, it meant that the weekends markets were safe. Otherwise no money coming in, much at this time of the year.
Last year has been very bad and we made no money. Still, we had a good harvest and should be bottling our wine in March and the 2009 vintage should be fantastic!

Roy did some wine making, and he let me taste his Bacchus, wonderful Nose and fine, dry aroma. Great little number.

I went to a workshop on Wednesday, very interesting. Maybe something will come out of it.
Its subject was: Regarding tourism in the South East and of course, we are in the "High Weald" in an Area of outstanding Beauty and so we have to and always do tell people how lucky they Are to be able to come and see us and to have the pleasure of the countryside around us. So the more people we can tell about it the better.
One good idea was to have weekends or holdays with a theme: being in our case, English Vineyards Tour (so not just one, but to go to four or five in one weekend!)Brilliant idea.
