Hope that everyone has a fantastic time at @HampshireVines festival today. Sad that I'm not able to make it this year, looks like perfect weather for it @ExtonVineyard #EnglishSparkling
Looks like the forecasted rain and thunder is staying away (for now)... Perfect excuse to be outdoors with a @ChapelDownWines Bacchus Gin and tonic. Super refreshing with a slice of pink grapefruit. #gin #Bacchus
