Hail Stones

Hail Stones The Winemakers nightmare


And these were the small ones!

When they hit the vines (especially in spring time when the vines are just setting the grapes) a hit by a hail stone can cut straight through the new growth , leaving you with just a green stalk.

Luckily for us these hail stone missed us !

But my Dads car looks like orange peel every panel is dented!

Earls Court First day !!
All set up and ready to go!

Smiling faces and new white Tshirts!






You should have seen us at the end of the day.

Tshirts not quite so white and smiles not quite so bright!
