Wine tasting and the story
















W


Now got a few minutes, pub has been busy and wine tasting was great fun, run by Mathew Clark and Co, tonight it was Australian wines, reds , whites and rose,s accompanied by tapas produced by Eduaro which were superb. The next one is 31st march when it will be wines of Chile.


I was at a table with Ade Walker and Haley Walker from Devon who were up here on holiday for a few days, Ade had crocked himself playing football and was on crutches. Haley works for the local tourist board in Devon and they are both looking for somewhere nice to get married, so they are going to look up The Eden Resort and Spa, in Sri Lanka , on Trip Advisor, Also with is was Andy who is a chef on a luxury cruise yacht , the "Tia Monia" , run by Bora Bora Cruises, an absolutely fantastic sailing machine busy all the year. Andy was telling us about the disease Phylloxera which nearly wiped out the wine industry in the 18th Century, this was supported by the experts present - but fortunately the industry has recovered

The infamous Miss Talk a lot @ Ailsa appeared later on , which reminds me that Hannah is off to see the Upside down Rob and Caitlin in the next two weeks.

Anyway - drunken folks want to use this machine - so goodnight.
