The eden vineyard

Last year I was given an experience voucher by my friends, Wendy, Lyn and Jaqui. I have at last cashed it in. I took my friend, Carolyn, with me. We had a wonderful time. it started off a bit rocky as we missed the train from Exeter to Topsham. We got a taxi to Topsham and found the wine tasting cellar. It was empty apart from a young girl. We asked her if we were in the right place. She told us that the vineyard was further away. I rang for a taxi to take us to the vineyard and as I ended the call, a couple , Andy and Andrea, turned up asking the same thing.

Carolyn told them that the vineyard was not close to the tasting cellar and that we were waiting for a taxi to take us. They said they had a car and we were welcome to travel with them.

We found the vineyadr eventually and joined a group of people who were also on the tour.

We then made our way back to the wine tasting cellar.

We had lunch and tasted 4 different wines. My voucher allowed me a complimentary bottle of wine.

We left the wine cellar and then walked into Topsham to have a look around. We stopped for a Devon cream tea in a local tea shop. We then found the pub and had a bacardi and coke.

It was such a lovely day, the rain kept off. The only thing that spoiled it was my shortness of breath and the pain in my back from my latest chest infection.

Tomorrow I am doing a car boot sale. I am selling for the first time, should be interesting. Anything I make will be split 4 ways.
