decanter expert

The physical copy of this month’s Decanter Magazine arrived today, with many thanks to Michael (and no thanks to Brexit!). He tried to post it from London and was told it would have to go Priority Post as they were no longer offering regular post to Europe because of the various strikes, etc and that would have cost him 59£ . Like what? So I told him I’d try and find another option. But then it was Michael to the rescue when he found out the son of his friend Pankaj would be in Barcelona soon and could post it from there. Phew! I always say it never feels real until I’m holding that baby in my hot little hands.

And check this out. For the first time I’ve been included on the
Decanter Experts page and like… OMG.
Seriously OMG.

zoom class

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.

back to work

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.
