Not your average school day.
What a fabulous tasting from Quinta do Noval, including their delicious table wines and mesmerising ports.

Some thoughts about wine pricing. (1) segment the market. At the bottom end wine is unsustainably cheap and prices need to rise so everyone can make a living and farmers can do what we ask of them when we insist on sustainability…

My favourite time of the year… On days like this, it’s a pretty cool office.

At least one of us got some talent… my very clever brother, collecting yet another award at the Royal Television Awards last night for Renovation Nation. #proudsister

Vendanges en fête in Limoux, celebrating the end of the harvest. We made it folks… it wasn’t easy, but we did it! 🍇

Today remembering the birthday of another young “Daughter of Iran” taken on Nov 16th in Tabriz during the uprisings last year, whose bravery and humanity will not be forgotten. Her death certainly never forgiven.

Aylar Haghi, a fourth-year medical student, was killed after…

Finally, a little bit of good news…

Time to attempt the MW, take 2.

When your body tells you to slow down, it’s sometimes wise to listen to it… 🙈 Not ideal during the harvest…

A little holiday in Carcassonne hospital, and I’m fighting fit again.
