Sheep shearing

Went to see Toni's brother Shane's workplace. He's in charge of blocks of vine roots, where the roots are grown and cut for the next process in wine making. Buds are attached the sticks of vine roots which go on to produce grapes. The area in which I live is wine country, and the house I live in is surrounded by vineyards and orchards!

I still prefer beer, I'm drinking Tui at the moment - not bad, and moving on to Red Lion next week! For the sake of Jake, I'll write a full account on the virtues of N.Z. beer when I have tried them all - I'm on my way!
