Friendly Fellows

These two friendly fellows were found at the corner of a green somewhere not far from Staple...

Roses and wine

I m not sure if I have told you but Roses are, by far, my favourite flowers.

I found this bush in a vineyard in Staple a few days ago.

Yeah, the guys at Barnsole Vineyard can look after their roses as well as make excellent wine.

Kentish Vineyard

You must forgive me but I have been so busy showing my relatives all the wonderful places in Canterbury that I find very little time to upload photos in here.

Today I am going to talk about this wonderful little vineayard in Staple near Canterbury.

A few days ago, while I was driving through the country lanes of Canterbury when I saw a sign to Barnsole Vineyard. I wasn't doing much and had plenty of time to kill so I decided to visit it. I followed the signs and ended up in this beautiful and calm place where the only noise I could hear was the wind blowing in leaves.

I rang the bell and this smiling and very friendly gentleman (girls, he was good looking) came out of the barn to help me. I chatted to him a couple of minutes and bought 3 boughts of wine. I took some photos of the fantastic roses bush around the property and left.

When I got home, I wasn't expecting a great wine but I put a bottle in the fridge and to my surprise, the wine is very nice, light and so easy to drink. I can see myself going back there for more very soon...
