Yep, still at Vinoble.
29 Friday May 2026

Off to Jerez tomorrow for Vinoble 2026! The hotel was booked in January, got train tickets last week, cat sitting is sorted… very excited but also worried about how I’ll hold up. I can honestly barely hobble these days, the pain has become so intense not only in my knee but also my damn shoulder. Some days I don’t know which is worse and together it sometimes just leaves me unable to do anything. BUT… I shall try! I see quite a few taxis in my near future.

Such a long-awaited event for so many reasons. The last Vinoble took place in 2018 and should have happened again in 2020… and well, then it didn’t. For me it was such a treat to see all these people again, many of whom I hadn’t seen for four years or more. Others I met for the first time. And others I have seen more recently, well, it was just great to say hi and catch up. I loved this so much. Filled my heart.
