A Vintage Year in Catalonia


It's the annual grape harvest here in Old Sodbury and our crop is a bumper one.




The white grapes are really sweet and the red ones succulent.

Interesting result from a YouGov pol on Catalonia.


I suppose the reaction of SNP supporters is entirely predictable.

Catalunya has been under the Spanish hoof for three hundred years.
I question: what business is it of the UK if it now wants to be an independent state ?

I don't believe the majority of Catalonians want independence. It's a populist, minority movement and they are using populist tactics. Unfortunately, the government has played into the hands of the separatists with their overblown response. There is a legal manner for the separatists to pursue their cause, but they chose an illegal one that's against the constitution, for which 92% of Catalonians voted.

I think the situation is of interest to anyone who has friends there, not forgetting there is a large British population there.
