Hi Colin,

Small world! I am a teacher at TGS...

I am very familiar with the area that you live in.

Welcome to the site. Folks here are really friendly and helpful, so I am sure you will get on fine.

Ah, I see you have met my wife already...

I'm surprised you need to ask, Hazel - though "hot spots" is not the expression I would use

... their poor excuse of a lie called Global Warming...

Welcome to the 'Vine Colin, from an Environmental Studies student... I agreed with everything you said, right up until that point ^ If you take a look at who pays for the research which tries to disprove the climate change science, then you'll see its 'the powers that be' who are trying to deny it. 'They' make their money from oil and destroying rain forests and a throw-away culture....

Anyway, growing your own is good for your wallet and the environment, so it's win:win

Hi Colin, welcome aboard. You're very lucky having 7 acres, I'd absolutely love that.

Hello and welcome from the French Pyrenees.

Glad to be back on grid after two years off.

What is it about Aberdeenshire, the East Mids and South Wales which make them such hot spots for grape activity??

I'm surprised you need to ask, Hazel - though "hot spots" is not the expression I would use

Yer, well I could hardly use 'cold spots, bleak spots and wet spots', could I??

[out in the cold]

Yer, well I could hoardly use 'cold spots and wet spots', could I??

Ah, you are also familiar with Aberdeenshire then...

Very cold. Very wet. Pretty though
