The first row I planted I did almost entirely on my own, and it was very, very Special. In the warm and peace of the vineyard, putting into practice all that I had learned, just the sound of the boys building in the background and achieving our dreams. This is the essence of Grusson as a learning environment which we hope some of you may experience in the future.
Then Ian arrived for the weekend and despite quite a lot of planning and laying out of the rows before his arrival, his input made them even better, hence the Straight row. Measured well and lined up - it is clearly the most aligned!
Then Ian went again and apart from Dave digging a few holes for me I was pretty well on my own again. The building was going fantastically, there was a fair amount of coming and going and the row ended up pretty wobbly! When we discussed this, the boys claimed it was the number of Kir Royales I had had - hence the Sparkling row.
PS lest you all think Steve wasn't doing anything - he was putting in the 7 foot posts for the trellising! As for the building work - well - more of that very soon!!!!!!
Live Life and Enjoy!
