It's certainly not just the UK weather that is difficult to understand! After a relatively cool and blustery day yesterday we awoke to brilliant sunshine, clear blue skies and by 11:00 the temperature was 28C.
After a leisurely start we headed off for Mount Difficulty Vineyard at Bannockburn just outside Cromwell. The LLW had decided that lunch here was definitely in order and we sat outside under a very shady and necessary canopy with stunning views over the vineyards and forests. An excellent meal accompanied by some very good Mount Difficulty wines including a lovely Roaring Meg Pinot Gris and the always excellent Pinot Noir. MD sell their wines in the UK and we have found the Pinot Noir at our local Waitrose but have not seen any of the other wines and we were particularly interested in the Pinot Gris. We enquired about UK distribution of this and were informed that it was available under the label "Trinity Hills". I am at a loss to understand why they don't use the Roaring Meg brand but what do I know!
Tonight we are staying and the Top Ten campsite in Cromweel where we stopped on out first visit to NZ and we soon found a good site and the tea was on.
