WINTER AT THE LODGE
Winter to most people is a picture of cold and gloom but we are experiencing some beautiful balmy days with cold nights – just right to enjoy a glass of wine in front of a real log fire. The closest we come to snow is looking across to the Ruahini Mountains in the distance and seeing the snow glistening on the top. It’s quite magical.
The vineyard is dormant although there is still work to be done but the lambs are doing a great job in keeping the grass down between the vines. We have closed the Cellar Door for the winter, re-opening in September, however wine is still available. Hawkes Bay may have quietened down for now but it is beautiful walking weather and the scenery is spectacular.
The Mission have announced the date for the 2012 Concert which is to be held on Saturday 25th February. This is a special anniversary for the Concert so expect to hear that there will be a top artist for this.
The Rugby World Cup will soon be on us and we all look forward to this event.
