After days of delay caused by the poor weather, we are finally poised and ready to start. To be honest we have been ready for some days now, and consequently have been looking around the cellar for odd jobs to do to help pass the time! We have actually had so much time that Fran was able to paint some fancy, florescent coloured stripes on the wall of our truck loading area (see photo). I am told that this will help the drivers line up their vehicles…..

The last two days have in fact, been dry(ish), but we have resisted the temptation to start as we knew that the poor weather was returning today. At the moment it’s actually quite stormy – blustery rain with high winds. The good news is that it’s going to start drying out from tomorrow and according to the forecasts (and believe me I had studied all of them), there is a ‘window’ of fine weather approaching. They tell us that next week is going to be dry and sunny, but my experience tells me, believe it when it happens. We will certainly have everything ready to start tomorrow, but until we open the shutters in the morning we will not make any definitive decision.
