Better weather today, and lunch at Halfpenny Green. There are still leaves on some of the vines, but the ones on the other side of the road were devoid of leaves – must be a different variety. There were 2 new white wines being launched, and I tried a small free sample of each . I think I prefer a couple of the older ones, but when the new ones are in the shop I might get a bottle of one of them when I next get there.

Lunch was enjoyable.
