Roasting chestnuts

Anyone staying staying in Chestnut Cottage can roast their own chestnuts at this time of year. These are Spanish Chestnuts from the tree behind. They are small but very tasty. Kept me alive (with some Sally's Hill Chardonnay) while I was hot smoking some Pyrenees lamb late in the day.

Sash and Charlie

This is an old photo of picking in March but having trouble with my laptop and then sat on my Ixus and then... you know.

Anyway still picking in April which is more like the good old days. Weather is lovely, had some rain overnight but still picking Cabernet Franc and Merlot in Sally's East. Hope to finish this week but forecast for rain Friday so not sure. Grapes still in good condition and Beaumes standing still at 13.2.

More when i get my gear to operate.
