This week I started doing English conversation zoom classes with my winemaking friend Vicente, who lives in Málaga. He had first asked about this in December because he and his wife Ana (also a winemaker) don’t get much opportunity to practice their English. And it’s great! I don’t have the pro version of zoom so we are limited to 40 minutes, but that’s actually a good amount of time just for chatting. It would be great to get a few more of these classes happening, just need to get the word out there.

For the past week or so I’ve been looking forward to this day with both delight and dread because, although I love doing my food and wine tours, I’m also very aware that Covid is still a clear and present danger. Not that you’d know it from the way people are behaving and the fact that our government is only testing (some) over 60s with and have all but given up on any preventative measures. So now I will be meeting up with travellers who have been going all over the place maskless and for the most part not testing themselves. This is worrying. But I also have to pay my rent. I have been looking at other ways to make a living but, so far, nothing has panned out. Anyhow, wish me luck.

So this totally made my day! My editor Julie at Decanter sent me this reader letter about my Cádiz travel article from last March. I mean, wow. It really made a difference to their trip and they ended up not just becoming Cádiz converts but sherry converts as well. Gotta admit it also helps with the ol’ impostor syndrome. 😉 Now I can’t wait to do another one.
