What a difference a week makes! I just thought I would post a couple of very recent photos – on the left, from last week, and on the right from yesterday, simply to illustrate what it can be like to live near the Ocean. This is by no means to show how beautiful it can be, but really to demonstrate how it can change from day-to-day, often without warning, and sometimes within hours.

Of course this is Galicia, and so these changes are quite normal (especially in winter). In summer, however, it is not always easy to work with these sudden variations, when alternating heat and humidity can wreak havoc in the vineyards, providing perfect conditions for disease.

As pruning continues, our guys in the vineyards soldier on, come rain or shine!
