Despite the terrible earthquake in Christchurch everything else into perspective I would like to tell you something about my work in the vineyard (I just call it so).
I can choose when I start and stop, I can choose my days off, as long as the work is done at some point stop. Everything is very, very loose.
The owners of the Hawks Head Winery Denis (Kiwi) and Ulrike are (German), an older, very very nice couple.
I usually work between 9 and 10 hours on the day it will start at half past ninth
The first 3 days I have torn leaves of Pinot Grigio. Yes, exactly. For we are here in New Zealand and not-shall we say in Australia or Chile, where the sun always burns. Therefore, we must every now and then the leaves light, so that more sun comes to the grapes.
Since then I'm done I'm now "fruit dropping". This means that I cut off all the bad and Excess grape vinegars. This year it has rained very much and so are the branches not as strong as ever, which means stay tuned per vine like a grape must, as they mature elsewhere. And you want to drink good wine.
The work is very tiring, but doable. And just what I wanted. A lot of time outdoors, get much time to think, a clear head. And in the evening really be tired. can
And so does my workplace?
Yes, and my property is in a cute little house in which I live together with the office lady (Gael) and their dog (Molli) so much better than the last. No comparison.
By the by developing for me right straight in the direction. I enjoy being here.
