Grape Expectations

Looks like there's going to be a bumper harvest at Clayhill vineyard, situated on the south facing slopes above the river Crouch in Althorne, Essex. The mesoclimate there, with mild winters and warm dry summers, is ideal for grape production.

I stopped there after collecting my sister from Stansted. I got a good pic of Norman Foster's terminal by climbing a bank. Three of my sisters and I have a gruelling meeting today to try to sort our mother's life. :(
