I tried to help harvest the grapes at the start of the morning, but I was so much slower that
the rest of the team that I was literally in the way.  Fortunately, I was able to contribute by
driving loads of grapes over to the winery.  

This is one of those pictures that might not be striking from an artistic point of view, but I
find it very satisfying to look in the rear-view mirror and see a load of wine I will enjoy a few
years from now.
